Undo 3272. The trouble with creating a new section for constants is that
there's no good place to order it since constants can be initialized
using globals as well as vice versa. And I don't want to add constraints
disallowing either side.

Instead, a new plan: always declare constants in the Globals section
using 'extern const' rather than just 'const', since otherwise constants
implicitly have internal linkage (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14894698/why-does-extern-const-int-n-not-work-as-expected)
