Done then.

That seems convenient. The downside is that then we'll check
ctx->call and ctx->call->fundef twice, but I guess that's not too bad.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?

Here we reject
constexpr const int *p = nullptr;
constexpr int *q = const_cast<int*>(p);
with "conversion of 'const int*' null pointer to 'int*' is not a
constant expression", which seems bogus. This code has been rejected
since r238909 which added the can_convert check when converting a null
pointer. I'm not finding any standard rule that this check was supposed
to enforce. The original discussion was here
<https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2016-06/msg01447.html>
and here
<https://gcc.gnu.org/legacy-ml/gcc-patches/2016-07/msg00280.html>.
Since can_convert never assumes a C-style cast, it rejects casting
away constness as in the test above and in:
constexpr int *q = (int *)(const int *) nullptr;
Removing the check only breaks constexpr-nullptr-2.C by not giving any
diagnostic for line 229:
constexpr B *pb2 = static_cast<B*>(pa0); // { dg-error "not a constant expression" }
but the cast seems to be valid: we do [expr.static.cast]/7, and
[expr.const] only says that a reinterpreter_cast and converting from
void* is invalid in constexpr. The can_convert check rejected convering
from void *, but only when converting from a null pointer, so it's not
good enough. So I've added a check to catch conversions from cv void*.
I realize it's not a great time to be adding additional checking, but
removing the can_convert check would then technically be a regression.
Let's limit the new check to only trigger for integer_zerop and then remove
it in GCC 12.
