c++: constexpr caching deleted pointer [PR119162]

In this testcase, we pass the checks for mismatched new/delete because the
pointer is deleted before it is returned.  And then a subsequent evaluation
uses the cached value, but the deleted heap var isn't in
ctx->global->heap_vars anymore, so cxx_eval_outermost_constant_expr doesn't
run find_heap_var_refs, and ends up with garbage.

Fixed by not caching a reference to deleted.

I considered rejecting such a reference immediately as non-constant, but I
don't think that's valid; an invalid pointer value isn't UB until we try to
do something with it or it winds up in the final result of constant
evaluation.

I also considered not caching other heap references (i.e. using
find_heap_var_refs instead of adding find_deleted_heap_var), which would
include heap pointers passed in from the caller, but those don't have the
same heap_vars problem.  We might want cxx_eval_outermost_constant_expr to
prune constexpr_call entries that refer to objects created during the
evaluation, but that applies to local variables and temporaries just as much
as heap "variables".

	PR c++/119162

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:

	* constexpr.cc (find_deleted_heap_var): New.
	(cxx_eval_call_expression): Don't cache a
	reference to heap_deleted.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* g++.dg/cpp2a/constexpr-new26.C: New test.
