[PATCH] [C FE] Fold trivial exprs that refer to const vars

There is a minor inconsistency in the folding behavior within the C
frontend.  The C frontend does not currently fold the expression "x",
where x is a const int, yet the FE does fold the expression "x + 0".

This happens because decl_constant_value is called in c_fully_fold only
while recursing over the operands of the expression being folded, i.e.
there is no top-level call to decl_constant_value to handle the case
where the expression being folded happens to be a singular expression
such as "x", as opposed to "x + 5" (where x is a const variable).

To fix this inconsistency, this patch calls decl_constant_value in
c_fully fold after folding the given expression.

Bootstrap + regtest in progress on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, OK to commit if
testing succeeds?

gcc/c/ChangeLog:

	* c-fold.c (c_fully_fold): Call
	decl_constant_value_for_optimization after folding
	the given expression.
	* c-typeck.c (digest_init): Remove redundant call to
	decl_constant_value_for_optimization.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* gcc.dg/fold-const-1.c: New test.
