Add a way to ensure that lazy globals are resolved, fixes #355

This only affects static fields that currently must have a type annotation, while it wouldn't work if there wasn't an annotated type, like on normal globals, which aren't compiled lazily, though. Must be revisted if requirements on type annotations on fields ever become relaxed.
