I tried to call `GetDWARFDeclContext(die)` in a general case, but it seems that `GetQualifiedName` will append `::` ([source](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/5015f250894d3d97917d858850fae7960923a4ae/lldb/source/Plugins/SymbolFile/DWARF/DWARFDeclContext.cpp#L22)) in front of the variable name if there's no other declaration context.

As a result, LLDB will display local variables and function arguments as `::var`. Any suggestion to deal with that?

I also noticed that with the current change it would be possible to get variables in anonymous namespaces, e.g. for the following source

```
namespace ns {
namespace {
const int var = 1;
}
}
```

call to `SBTarget::FindGlobalVariables("ns::(anonymous namespace)::var")` will succeed. Is that OK?

I couldn't come up with a struct or class example that triggers changes in this diff. Members were either `DW_TAG_member` which is not handled by `ParseVariableDIE` or they already contained `DW_AT_linkage_name`.
