Sounds good, done here.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?
-- >8 --
[temp.arg.nontype] tells us that a temporary object is not an acceptable
template-argument when the corresponding template parameter has reference
type. So
template<const int& CRI> struct B { };
B<1> b;
is ill-formed. In the test below we have a tparm `const int &I` and we
are trying to deduce `I` from `A<0>`. Since a temporary would be required
for the template argument, this should be a deduction failure.

Hmm, this name adds to the already-confusing group of similarly-named
functions. How about convert_nontype_argument_maybe_dependent, and note
in the convert_nontype_argument function comment that it expects
non-dependent TYPE and non-type-dependent EXPR? And the existing
maybe_convert_nontype_argument should probably be something more
distinct like maybe_build_nontype_implicit_conv.
