Done. Ran dg.exp. Ok for trunk?

[temp.arg.nontype] tells us that a temporary object is not an acceptable
template-argument when the corresponding template parameter has reference
type. So
template<const int& CRI> struct B { };
B<1> b;
is ill-formed. In the test below we have a tparm `const int &I` and we
are trying to deduce `I` from `A<0>`. Since a temporary would be required
for the template argument, this should be a deduction failure.

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:
* cp-tree.h: Adjust comments to mention
maybe_build_nontype_implicit_conv instead of
maybe_convert_nontype_argument.

(maybe_build_nontype_implicit_conv): ...this.
(convert_nontype_argument_maybe_dependent): New, factored
out of...

(unify) <case TEMPLATE_PARM_INDEX>: Call
convert_nontype_argument_maybe_dependent and return unify_invalid
if it failed. Don't call strip_typedefs_expr.
