c++: Consider addresses of heap artificial vars always non-NULL [PR98988, PR99031]
With -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks which is e.g. implied by
-fsanitize=undefined or default on some embedded targets, the middle-end
folder doesn't consider addresses of global VAR_DECLs to be non-NULL, as one
of them could have address 0. Still, I think malloc/operator new (at least
the nonthrowing) relies on NULL returns meaning allocation failure rather
than success. Furthermore, the artificial VAR_DECLs we create for
constexpr new never actually live in the address space of the program,
so we can pretend they will never be NULL too.

Doing that seems to work and as added benefit it fixes another PR that has
been filed recently. I need to create the varpool node explicitly and call
a method that sets the definition member in there, but I can also unregister
those varpool nodes at the end of constexpr processing, as the processing
ensured they don't leak outside of the processing.
