[PATCH] LangRef syntax for Global Variables is missing the initializer

The syntax for Global Variables in LangRef is missing the initializer. This syntax section was added in r199218 along with changes to the dllexport/dllimport handling, and I guess it was just an oversight to omit the initializer values. I think this patch fixes it. I’ve marked the initializer as optional because this syntax is used for both declarations and definitions.

Comments?

 For example, the following defines a global in a numbered address space
 with an initializer, section, and alignment:
