ALRC: Add Global Data Mgt. pattern to report

RDLC headers and footers cannot access the current dataset row directly. Document values, user information, filter text and translated labels therefore need a way to travel from the report body to those areas.

This command configures that transfer in AL and RDLC and guides you through choosing fields and their placement. The documented pattern family includes the original Microsoft SetData/GetData pattern, an improved variant and the optimised GlobalDataMgt pattern; availability depends on the implementation offered in the wizard.

Avoiding repeated global values in every dataset row reduces data volume and simplifies layout design, particularly when many values are needed globally.
