test: set variables using `let' instead of `setq' in Emacs tests

Using `setq' for setting variables in Emacs tests affect other
tests that may run in the same Emacs environment.  Currently it
works because each test is run in a separate Emacs instance.  But
in the future multiple tests will run in a single Emacs instance.
The patch changes all variables to use `let', so the scope of the
change is limited to a single test.
