opt_constant_folding is supposed to fold trees of constants into a
single constant. Surprisingly, it was also propagating constant values
from variables into expression trees - even when the result couldn't be
folded together. This is opt_constant_propagation's job.
The ir_dereference_variable::constant_expression_value() method returns
a clone of var->constant_value. So we would replace the dereference
with a constant, propagating it into the tree.
Skip over ir_dereference_variable to avoid this surprising behavior.
However, add code to explicitly continue doing it in the constant
propagation pass, as it's useful to do so.

We could probably clean this up more (maybe make it a method), but at
least there's only one copy of this code now, and that's a start.
No change in shader-db.
