Here we reject

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.
(I could perhaps limit the new check to only trigger for integer_zerop
and then remove it in GCC 12.)

That sounds safest.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?

I wonder about adding overloads that take constexpr_call* so you don't need the non-null checks here. Up to you.
