LOG: [Clang][ExprConst] Drop PRValue for nothrow new (#226753)

A user defined operator new can accept prvalue for nothrow. However, it
should not be a ConstExpr. Early returns by
isUsableAsGlobalAllocationFunctionInConstantEvaluation instead of doing
LValue evaluation.
Also, move CheckPlacement new logic into new OpCode. This decouples
checking from Interp.cpp to Compiler.cpp.

Added: 
    clang/test/SemaCXX/new-nothrow-by-value.cpp

Modified: 
    clang/lib/AST/ByteCode/Compiler.cpp
    clang/lib/AST/ByteCode/Interp.cpp
    clang/lib/AST/ByteCode/Interp.h
    clang/lib/AST/ByteCode/Opcodes.td
    clang/lib/AST/ExprConstant.cpp

Removed:
