constexpr variables are compile time constants and implicitly const, therefore
they are safe to emit on both device and host side. Besides, in many cases
they are intended for both device and host, therefore it makes sense
to emit them on both device and host sides if necessary.

In most cases constexpr variables are used as rvalue and the variables
themselves do not need to be emitted. However if their address is taken,
then they need to be emitted.

The following example shows constexpr is available on device side without
`__device__` or `__constant__` attribute

https://godbolt.org/z/Uf7CgK

Which indicates that we need to emit constexpr variables on device side
even without `__device__` or `__constant__` attribute when necessary.
This should be OK since the initializer is compile time constant and the
variable itself is constant. They can just be emitted in the same way
as the host side.

For C++14, clang is able to handle that since clang emits them with
available_externally linkage together with the initializer.

However for C++17, the constexpr static data member of a class or template class
become inline variables implicitly. Therefore they become definitions with
linkonce_odr or weak_odr linkages. As such, they can not have available_externally
linkage.

This patch fixes that by allowing clang to emit definitions of constexpr variables
in the standard way on device side.
