Subject: [PATCH] Unlet! the nt variable before letting it.

Some will have a "NERDTree" buffer variable and others will not. In the
ones that do, getbufvar will return a dictionary. getbufvar will return
an empty string from the other buffers. When looping through the buffers,
let will throw an error if nt already exists and is a different type than
what is trying to be put into it. This easily can be illustrated by these
two statements:

:let x = ""
:let x = {}
E706: Variable type mismatch for: x

This commit gets rid of the variable before setting it so that the
mismatch cannot occur.
