glsl: Don't do constant propagation in opt_constant_folding.

opt_constant_folding is supposed to fold trees of constants into a
single constant.  Surprisingly, it was also propagating constant values
from variables into expression trees - even when the result couldn't be
folded together.  This is opt_constant_propagation's job.

The ir_dereference_variable::constant_expression_value() method returns
a clone of var->constant_value.  So we would replace the dereference
with a constant, propagating it into the tree.

Skip over ir_dereference_variable to avoid this surprising behavior.
However, add code to explicitly continue doing it in the constant
propagation pass, as it's useful to do so.
