cobol/119229 - fix external variable declaration

The following makes vs_external_reference behave like documented,
declare a variable defined elsewhere which means not setting
TREE_STATIC but DECL_EXTERNAL.

Built on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, tested with the cobol.dg
testsuite (which doesn't mean much).  The removed comment mentions
'stderr', possibly the NIST testsuite has coverage.

OK for trunk?

Thanks,
Richard.

	PR cobol/119229
	* gengen.cc (gg_declare_variable): Use DECL_EXTERNAL and
	drop TREE_STATIC for vs_external_reference.

	* cobol.dg/pr119229.cob: New testcase.
