[gtk/wip/otte/listview: 24/158] builder: Allow <constant> without a type

[Benjamin Otte <otte src gnome org>]

    builder: Allow <constant> without a type
    
    A constant without a type is assumed to be an object. This is the most
    common case and allows
      <constant>foo</constant>
    without requiring updates to the type whenever the foo object changes.
