c++: P2280R4, Using unknown refs in constant expr [PR106650]

This patch is an attempt to implement (part of?) P2280, Using unknown
pointers and references in constant expressions.  (Note that R4 seems to
only allow References to unknown/Accesses via this, but not Pointers to
unknown.)

This patch works to the extent that the test case added in [expr.const]
works as expected, as well as the test in
<https://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2022/p2280r4.html#the-this-pointer>

Most importantly, the proposal makes this compile:

  template <typename T, size_t N>
  constexpr auto array_size(T (&)[N]) -> size_t {
      return N;
  }

  void check(int const (&param)[3]) {
      constexpr auto s = array_size(param);
      static_assert (s == 3);
  }

and I think it would be a pity not to have it in GCC 14.

What still doesn't work is the test in $3.2:

  struct A2 { constexpr int f() { return 0; } };
  struct B2 : virtual A2 {};
  void f2(B2 &b) { constexpr int k = b.f(); }

where we say
error: '* & b' is not a constant expression

This will be fixed in the future.
