`seedWords` used to be stored on the metamask state temporarily at
certain points. This hasn't been the case since #5994, but references
to this state remained. All of the logic remained for correctly updating
these `seedWords`, handling them during navigation, and scrubbing them
from the state.
However the state was never updated in practice. The `seedWords` are
still returned by `verifySeedPhrase`, and they're still stored in
component state in a few places. But they aren't ever set in the Redux
metadata state or the Preferences controller.
All references to this state have been removed, along with any logic
for interacting with this state. A few unused actions were removed as
well.
While working on #6805, I noticed that many variables were being used
before they were declared. Technically this worked fine in practice
because we were using the `transform-es2015-block-scoping` Babel plugin,
which transforms `let` and `const` to `var`, which is hoisted. However,
after removing that Babel transformation, many things broke.
All instances of variables or classes being used before declared have
been fixed.
The `no-use-before-define` eslint rule has been added to catch these
cases going forward. The rule is disabled for function declarations for
the moment, because those are always hoisted. We could disable that too
if we want to, but it's purely stylistic and would require a lot more
changes.
