global_vars setter

[jsl12]

Added the setter for global_vars and edited some of the docs surrounding globals.

Fixes #2314

Commit 573858c breaks AD in my system, apps fail to start with the following error:

2025-05-31 22:55:42.209693 ERROR Error: AppInstantiationError: Failed to create object for 'scribble'
2025-05-31 22:55:42.210324 ERROR Error:   AttributeError: property 'app_config' of 'MyApp' object has no setter

Likely we need to also remove the ADBase::app_config @property.

@jsl12 @acockburn Is it just me or is the setter for global vars actually setting it to Any, instead of the provided value? Is that on purpose?

[acockburn]

Hmm, you may have a point ...

@global_vars.setter
    def global_vars(self, value: Any) -> None:
        with self.AD.global_lock:
            self.AD.global_vars = Any

should probably be:

@global_vars.setter
    def global_vars(self, value: Any) -> None:
        with self.AD.global_lock:
            self.AD.global_vars = value

@jsl12 ?

Yeah, that looks like an oversight to me
