LOG: [clang][CompundLiteralExpr] Don't defer evaluation for CLEs (#137163)

Previously we would defer evaluation of CLEs until LValue to RValue
conversions, which would result in creating values within wrong scope
and triggering use-after-frees.

This patch instead eagerly evaluates CLEs, within the scope requiring
them. This requires storing an extra pointer for CLE expressions with
static storage.

Fixes https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/137165

Added: 
    clang/test/AST/static-compound-literals-crash.cpp
    clang/test/AST/static-compound-literals-reeval.cpp
    clang/test/AST/static-compound-literals.cpp

Modified: 
    clang/include/clang/AST/Expr.h
    clang/lib/AST/Expr.cpp
    clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp

Removed:
