Issue:
Track which variables need to be reactive
[REPL](https://v3.svelte.technology/repl?version=3.0.0-alpha16&gist=3a9377863be9b866a1942cdce08a75bf). We're not taking full advantage of the information available to us. This code...

```html
<script>
  let name = 'world';
</script>

<h1>Hello {name}!</h1>
```

...should result in this output...

```diff
function create_fragment($$, ctx) {
  var h1, text0, text1, text2, current;

  return {
    c() {
      h1 = createElement("h1");
      text0 = createText("Hello ");
      text1 = createText(ctx.name);
      text2 = createText("!");
    },

    m(target, anchor) {
      insert(target, h1, anchor);
      append(h1, text0);
      append(h1, text1);
      append(h1, text2);
      current = true;
    },

-    p(changed, ctx) {
-      if (changed.name) {
-        setData(text1, ctx.name);
-      }
-    },
+    p: noop,

    i(target, anchor) {
      if (current) return;
      this.m(target, anchor);
    },

    o: run,

    d(detach) {
      if (detach) {
        detachNode(h1);
      }
    }
  };
}
```

...since there's no way `name` could change.

Stretch goal: `let name` should be hoisted out of the instance altogether:

```diff
function create_fragment($$, ctx) {
  var h1, text0, text1, text2, current;

  return {
    c() {
      h1 = createElement("h1");
      text0 = createText("Hello ");
-      text1 = createText(ctx.name);
+      text1 = createText(name);
      text2 = createText("!");
    },

    m(target, anchor) {
      insert(target, h1, anchor);
      append(h1, text0);
      append(h1, text1);
      append(h1, text2);
      current = true;
    },

-    p(changed, ctx) {
-      if (changed.name) {
-        setData(text1, ctx.name);
-      }
-    },
+    p: noop,

    i(target, anchor) {
      if (current) return;
      this.m(target, anchor);
    },

    o: run,

    d(detach) {
      if (detach) {
        detachNode(h1);
      }
    }
  };
}

+let name = 'world';
```

This is what happens if it's a `const` instead. In other words, rather than determining a variable's reactivity based on `const` and `let` (which causes other bugs — #1917), it should be based on how the variable is actually used.


Discussion:
Playing around, I extended `TemplateScope` to start tracking which names are mutated, which allows code that sets up an update to check its deps for known mutation before doing so. The first pass is quite rough, and there are a fair number of test failures. The thing that jumped out most for me though, were the component prop binding test failures. ~~What happens here with `<Hello bind:name />`?~~
So it turns out I was confusing myself (not hard to do) with a scriptless component. With that cleared up, I think tracking mutation along the template stack will probably work out ok, so I'll keep poking at it to see what shakes out.

+1 as for CoffeeScript users (I'm a proud one) transpiled code only uses `var` instead of `let` or `const`.
