test: removed dead code for unrecognised binary operators
the fallback error in binary_operator() was unreachable, since invalid binary operators are rejected in three_arguments() via binop() which returns false and prevents entry into binary_operator(). this dead code was unreachable and safe to remove ref: line 636 where "binary operator expected" is generated.
