Subject: [PATCH] [clang] Reject constexpr-unknown values as constant
 expressions more consistently.

Perform the check for constexpr-unknown values in the same place we
perform checks for other values which don't count as constant
expressions.

While I'm here, also fix a rejects-valid with a reference that doesn't
have an initializer.  This diagnostic was also covering up some of the
bugs here.

The existing behavior with -fexperimental-new-constant-interpreter seems
to be correct, but the diagnostics are slightly different; it would be
helpful if someone could check on that as a followup.

Followup to #128409.

Fixes #129844. Fixes #129845.
