zig Sema: implement @export for arbitrary values

Needs a test. Probably a behavior test will be the simplest testing strategy.

Well it turns out this just... crashes if you build as an exe through build_exe or test? Good thing you asked me to add a test I guess! EDIT: scrap that, my global cache was just doing some funny business

And don't forget to test that the data was exported correctly as well! Another file could use extern to access the exported data.

I was following the example of the rest of that file in not actually checking the value. But yes, it could be done - don't even need another file, just another container with an extern decl. If I add a check for this one, would you like me to add tests for the rest too? (Also, it seems like @extern is broken when you have an export of the same name, I'll look into that and open an issue if necessary.)

I just realised I never tested what this does on global vars - marking WIP until I test that

Oh it's actually fine, that runs via export not export_value, nice!
