[PATCH RFC 12/13] expression, evaluate: support compound literals as address constants

[Nicolai Stange <nicstange@gmail.com>]

Toplevel compound literals have got static storage duration
[6.5.2.5(6)].

This implies that
1. their addresses are address constants [6.6(9)] and
2. their initializers must contain constant expressions only
   [6.5.2.5(3), 6.7.8(4)] .

Flag the anonymous symbol created at expression parsing time as having
static storage duration if the compound literal occurs at top level
scope.

Flag the whole expression as being an address constant at evaluation
time if its corresponding anonymous symbol had been previously marked
as having static storage duration.
