bpo-32836: Remove obsolete code from symtable pass (GH-5680)

When comprehensions switched to using a nested scope, the old
code for generating a temporary name to hold the accumulation
target became redundant, but was never actually removed.

Patch by Nitish Chandra.
(cherry picked from commit 3a087beddd9f0955eb9080a6fd1499ff89ca74bf)
