Subject: LaTeX reader: improve handling of plain TeX macro primitives.

- Fixed semantics for `\let`.
- Implement `\edef`, `\gdef`, and `\xdef`.
- Add comment noting that currently `\def` and `\edef` set global
  macros (so are equivalent to `\gdef` and `\xdef`).  This should be
  fixed by scoping macro definitions to groups, in a future commit.

Closes #7474.
