opt_expr: Propagate constants to port connections.

This adds one simple piece of functionality to opt_expr: when a cell
port is connected to a fully-constant signal (as determined by sigmap),
the port is reconnected directly to the constant value.  This is just
enough optimization to fix the "non-constant $meminit input" problem
without requiring a full opt_clean or a separate pass.
