bug#38173: describe-variable: Also tell user *where* variable was changed

["積丹尼 Dan Jacobson" <jidanni@jidanni.org>]

This all has to be at the knowledge level of the user who has put his
first setq in his first .emacs file.

He uses describe-variable and is told some 3rd party has changed the
variable too and wants to know who.

Indeed, the describe-variable docstring could mention: "if you want more
details, set "global-variable-tracking" to t, and restart
emacs. But note it will slow down emacs, so only use for debugging."

Sounds like a security / coverup risk. Maybe with the expensive
global-variable-tracking turned on, describe-variable could double check
for such tampering upon looking up a variable.
