Try/catch doesn't work with field updates

[burtgulash]

Describe the bug
try/catch doesn't seem to be working well with field updates.

To Reproduce
% echo '{"x":"123"}' | jq -c '.x = (.x | try tonumber catch "error")'
{"x":123}
% echo '{"x":"123"}' | jq -c '.x |= (try tonumber catch "error")'
{"x":"error"}

Environment (please complete the following information):
% jq --version
jq-1.6

Seems like a duplicate of #2220 and #2140

And this is already fixed in the master version.

 % jq --version
jq-master-a17dd32

 % echo '{"x":"123"}' | jq -c '.x = (.x | try tonumber catch "error")'
{"x":123}

 % echo '{"x":"123"}' | jq -c '.x |= (try tonumber catch "error")'
{"x":123}

jq 1.7 released with the fix.

$ jq --version
jq-1.7
$ echo '{"x":"123"}' | jq -c '.x = (.x | try tonumber catch "error")'
{"x":123}
$ echo '{"x":"123"}' | jq -c '.x |= (try tonumber catch "error")'
{"x":123}
