Auto merge of #66294 - davidhewitt:const_fn_memoization, r=<try>

Add memoization for const function evaluations

When a const function is being evaluated, as long as all its arguments are zero-sized-types (or it has no arguments) then we can trivially memoize the evaluation result using the existing query mechanism.

With thanks to @oli-obk for mentoring me through this at RustFest Barcelona.
