Allow let bindings and destructuring in constants and const fn

-Blocks in constants may only contain items (such as constant, function
-definition, etc...) and a tail expression. Erroneous code example:
-
-```compile_fail,E0016
-const FOO: i32 = { let x = 0; x }; // 'x' isn't an item!

-To avoid it, you have to replace the non-item object:

-const FOO: i32 = { const X : i32 = 0; X };
