Since copying a class object is defined in terms of the copy constructor,
copying an empty class is OK even if it would otherwise not be usable in a
constant expression.  Relatedly, using a parameter as an lvalue is no more
problematic than a local variable, and calling a member function uses the
object as an lvalue.

Tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, applying to trunk.

        * constexpr.c (potential_constant_expression_1) [PARM_DECL]: Allow
        empty class type.
        [COMPONENT_REF]: A member function reference doesn't use the object
        as an rvalue.
