Rename EM_ConstantExpressionUnevaluated to EM_ConstantFoldUnevaluated, which is actually what the code is currently doing.

Summary

And, configure it to explicitly request equivalent behavior to
ConstantFold, instead of getting that behavior accidentally.

While it seems that diagnose_if and enable_if were intended to require
a constexpr argument, the code was actually only checking whether it
could be constant-folded, due to the confusing way the constant
evaluator code currently works.

It _probably_ should be fixed to actually check for
constexpr-ness. However, r290584 now depends on it NOT doing so -- and
it's possible that some users are, too.

I'd like to land this, to unblock the follow-on cleanup -- without
changing the semantics first -- and maybe loop back to convert it to
require a constexpr later, if it looks like users aren't depending on
the semantics it has now.

This change is a prerequisite for fixing the confusion in the
ExprConstant code which led to this situation.
