Most build_* functions have variadic versions, but build_constructor doesn't as of yet, and it would be convenient for a patch I'm working on. I decided to call it build_constructor_va, but am open to other naming ideas.

Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  OK for trunk?

    	* tree.c (build_constructor_va): New.
    	* tree.h: Declare it.
