Feature: Implement 'global' parameter #12

by providing a package I still want that constant is created at specified package.

It would be nice if we also specify some global space for all constants (this is useful for large libraries)

  $ffi->load_custom_type('::Enum', 'SDL_RendererFlip',
    { ret => 'int', package => 'SDL2::Render', global => 'SDL2' },
    ...

And when $ffi is instantiated we can pass parameter which trigger spoil global namespace or not:

my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1, global => 1 ); # Enable all globals
my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1, global => [ 'SDL2', 'SomeOtherSpace' ] );  # Enable only these two
my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1, global => 0 ); # Constant still accessable via SDL2::Render::SDL_FLIP_NONE
my $ffi = FFI::Platypus->new( api => 1 );                     # Constant still accessable via SDL2::Render::SDL_FLIP_NONE

Also would be nice if it automatically remove some prefix:

  $ffi->load_custom_type('::Enum', 'SDL_RendererFlip',
    { ret => 'int', package => 'SDL2::Render', remove => 'SDL_' },
    ['SDL_FLIP_NONE'       => 0x00000000],    #  /**< Do not flip */

will create SDL2::Render::FLIP_NONE. This will save us from repeating SDL because it is already at package name
