Hi,
This patch introduces `JitCompiler::isConstantExpression` which can be used to statically determine whether an expression has been constant-folded by the Jit compiler, leading to more constant-folding opportunities. For example, it can be used in `MemorySessionImpl::checkValidStateRaw` to eliminate the lifetime check on global sessions without imposing additional branches on other non-global sessions. This is inspired by `std::is_constant_evaluated` in C++.
Please kindly give your opinion as well as your reviews, thanks very much.
