Change DwarfCompileUnit::createGlobalVariable to getOrCreateGlobalVariable.

Summary:
This will allow to request the creation of a forward delacred variable
at is point of use (for imported declarations, this will be
DwarfDebug::constructImportedEntityDIE) rather than having to put the
forward decl in a retention list.

Note that getOrCreateGlobalVariable returns the actual definition DIE when the
routine creates a declaration and a definition DIE. If you agree this is the
right behavior, then I'll have a followup patch that registers the definition
in the DIE map instead of the declaration as it is today (this 'breaks' only
one test, where we test that the imported entity is the declaration). I'm
not sure what's best here, but it's easy enough for a consumer to follow the
DW_AT_specification link to get to the declaration, whereas it takes more
work to find the actual definition from a declaration DIE.
