__builtin_constant_p: properly test, fix behaviour

We previously only compile-time tested what required a run-time check of
assertions, so move this to the "cbmc" regression test suite. Also,
extend it by behaviour that distinguishes it from actual C-standard
specified constant expressions. Finally, fix the behaviour for string
literals.
