Consider splitting global variables out of config.js and making available to all views

See original GitHub issue

We’ve seen some users want to make some variables available globally to all views. At the moment this is can be cumbersome to do and confusing for people not familiar with js.

One solution would be to automatically make the contents of config.js available to all views. It currently contains some stuff (port number) that you might not want available, so an alternate would be to split the file in to config.js and variables.js, and have the contents of the latter file made available to all views.
