Aaron Puchert 5250a03a99 Thread safety analysis: Consider global variables in scope ...

Instead of just mutex members we also consider mutex globals.
Unsurprisingly they are always in scope. Now the paper [1] says that

> The scope of a class member is assumed to be its enclosing class,
> while the scope of a global variable is the translation unit in
> which it is defined.

But I don't think we should limit this to TUs where a definition is
available - a declaration is enough to acquire the mutex, and if a mutex
is really limited in scope to a translation unit, it should probably be
only declared there.

The previous attempt in 9dcc82f34e was causing false positives because
I wrongly assumed that LiteralPtrs were always globals, which they are
not. This should be fixed now.
