`SValBuilder::getConstantVal()` does not currently handle direct function 
addresses, as a result, a const function pointer initialized with a function is 
loaded into `UnknownVal`, preventing the analyzer from resolving and inlining 
calls through that pointer.

Fixes #216983

Subject: [PATCH] [clang][analyzer] Model function addresses in constant
 initializers

Teach `SValBuilder::getConstantVal()` to represent direct function
addresses using the existing `FunctionCodeRegion` SVal.

This allows the analyzer to resolve calls through constant function
pointers and preserve caller constraints.
