unstably allow constants to refer to statics and read from immutable statics
I am not aware of any fundamental reason why we cannot allow constants to mention statics. What we really need is that constants do not *read from* statics that can change their value:
- This would break the principle that "constants behave as-if their expression was inlined everywhere and executed at runtime". This is enforced by halting const-eval interpretation when a read from a mutable global occurs.
- When building a valtree we want to be sure that the constant and everything it refers to is truly immutable. This is enforced by aborting valtree construction when a read from a mutable global occurs.
r? `@oli-obk` -- if you are okay with experimenting with this feature, I will create a tracking issue.
