Simplify inherited attribute handling

This reduces the difference between inherited and non-inherited
attribute handling to the choice of which env to use (in recs and lets)
by setting the AttrDef::e to a new ExprVar in the parser rather than
carrying a separate AttrDef::v VarRef member.

As an added bonus, this allows inherited attributes that inherit from a
with to delay forcing evaluation of the with's attributes.
