PR45402: Make the restrictions on constant evaluation of memcmp and
memchr consistent and comprehensible, and document them. We previously allowed evaluation of memcmp on arrays of integers of any size, so long as the call evaluated to 0, and allowed evaluation of memchr on any array of integral type of size 1 (including enums). The purpose of constant-evaluating these builtins is only to support constexpr std::char_traits, so we now consistently allow them on arrays of (possibly signed or unsigned) char only.
