Close #5977: :var: field do not create a cross-reference

Since its beginning, `:var:` field has created a cross-reference to the
attribute having the same name.  It is meaningful only if the attribute
is documented by `py:attribute` directive.  It means the `:var:` field
and `:attr:` role are almost the same and conflicted.  Additionally,
the cross-reference points incorrect variable if the target is not
documented.

Thus, the cross-reference feature of `:var:` field is disabled.
