Description
It seems there are no rules constraining the valid storage classes for variables.
Global variables in particular should be constrained to:
- UniformConstant when program scope variables are not supported
- UniformConstant or CrossWorkgroup otherwise

Research direction
Start by locating the SPIR-V Environment specification source in this repository; no specific file or test is named in the issue. Read the existing rules for variable storage classes and determine where global-variable constraints belong. Done means the specification clearly states the applicable storage classes for both supported and unsupported program-scope variables.
