Chris Lattner e0fbb497ee - ConstantPointerRefs are now automatically removed from the module table
when they are destroyed, which makes Constant::destroyConstant an actually
    useful external interface.  Expose these methods publicly.
  - Implement destroyConstant on ConstPointerNull so that destroyConstant can
    be used on any derived type constant safely.
