Simplify iteration in Eshell for loops

The previous code fixed an issue in Eshell's iterative evaluation
where deferred commands caused an infinite loop (see bug#12571).
However, with the fix to unwinding let forms in 'eshell-do-eval' (see
bug#59469), we can just write this code as we normally would
(bug#61954).
