Fix -var-create and -var-update (MI)

[ki.stfu]

Summary

This patch includes:

• Fix -var-create command for global/static variables
• Fix -var-update command: remove m_strValueName/m_eVarInfoFormat/m_bValueChanged{Array,Composite,Normal}Type; clean CMICmdCmdVarUpdate::Execute and CMICmdCmdVarUpdate::Acknowledge; improve CMICmdCmdVarUpdate::MIFormResponse; Complete the value after -var-create using the CMICmdCmdVarCreate::CompleteSBValue to get SBValue::GetValueDidChange work.
• Add non-constant version of CMICmnLLDBDebugSessionInfoVarObj::GetValue
• Add MiVarTestCase.test_lldbmi_var_update test

All tests pass on OS X.

Looks good
