a local can be referenced in the type of another one, hence we can't
compare them in the same environment and update said environment

actually, we visit the spec of a function at its first occurrence,
so that it is possible that some global logic definitions
that are used in the constract haven't been visited yet.

take into account that varinfos can stem from kernel functions (namely if
we take their address), and that they are supposed to be declared before
we see them, so that we don't have to compare their types and attributes
at each use, but just check the entries in the environment (either local
or global depending on vglob).
