Fix regression in promotion of rvalues referencing a static

This commit makes librustc_passes::consts::CheckCrateVisitor properly
mark expressions as promotable if they reference a static, as it's
perfectly fine for one static to reference another. It fixes a
regression that prevented a temporary rvalue from referencing a static
if it was itself declared within a static.

Prior to commit https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/b8c05fe90bc,
`region::ScopeTree` would only register a 'terminating scope' for function
bodies. Thus, while rvalues in a static that referenced a static would be marked
unpromotable, the lack of enclosing scope would cause
mem_categorization::MemCategorizationContext::cat_rvalue_node
to compute a 'temporary scope' of `ReStatic`. Since this had the same
effect as explicitly selecting a scope of `ReStatic`
due to the rvalue being marked by CheckCrateVisitor as promotable,
no issue occurred.

However, commit https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/commit/b8c05fe90bc
made ScopeTree unconditionally register a 'terminating scope'
Since mem_categorization would now compute a non-static 'temporary scope', the
aforementioned rvalues would be erroneously marked as living for too
short a time.

By fixing the behavior of CheckCrateVisitor, this commit avoids changing
mem_categorization's behavior, while ensuring that temporary values in
statics are still allowed to reference other statics.

Fixes issue #44373
