Add please the possibility of updating value for global variables from setup/teardown scripts

It'll be nice if you give the possibility to update values for global/group variables for the whole environment not only one check. (like in postman) It'll help to improve the checks creation process.

@tibring thanks for contributing. I will keep this in mind. We see this request from some customers already. The problem is a bit sticky, as updating global variables from essentially async, distributed processes that rely on these variables is a hard task.

The reliability of the checks is our main concern, for this reason we now treat every check run as atomic.

I would also appreciate this feature as it will allow using global variables as a persistent value which we can update during the run and use in the next run.
