Attaching metadata references to global variables #321

Is this possible in llvmlite? It doesn't appear to be documented, or exposed through the API set for objects like llvmlite.ir.GlobalVariable.

Looks like we didn't add it for GlobalVariable. Looks like it's not too hard to do. Just need to add _HasMetadata and the required attributes to GlobalVariable
