Allow GlobalRef and module qualified names in macro definitions (#53535)
 
The following is currently an error:
```
julia> module MyMacroModule
           macro mymacro end
       end
Main.MyMacroModule

julia> macro MyMacroModule.mymacro()
           1
       end
ERROR: syntax: invalid macro definition around REPL[2]:1
Stacktrace:
 [1] top-level scope
   @ REPL[2]:1
```

Discussing with Jeff, we didn't think there was any good reason not to
allow this, just a missing case in lowering. It's probably not
particularly useful (unlike the corresponding case for functions that is
used all the time), but it came up in writing a test case for #53515.
