Let me drop this, I don't like the name "const_fixed_from_double_int".  It's
bad and I think "fixed_from_double_int" is better.  Other constructor-like
functions for FIXED_VALUE_TYPE use fixed_from_* whereas const_fixed_* returns a
CONST_FIXED rtx.

This is less confusing and fits better the naming convention.

The new patch also adds const_fixed_from_double_int that actually returns a
CONST_FIXED rtx.  It's unused, but I would use it in the avr back.

Okay with that rename? (Or, at your option, without const_fixed_from_double_int).
