verilog: refactored constant function evaluation

Elaboration now attempts constant evaluation of any function call with
only constant arguments, regardless of the context or contents of the
function. This removes the concept of "recommended constant evaluation"
which previously applied to functions with `for` loops or which were
(sometimes erroneously) identified as recursive. Any function call in a
constant context (e.g., `localparam`) or which contains a constant-only
procedural construct (`while` or `repeat`) in its body will fail as
before if constant evaluation does not succeed.
