Tweak twig_constant()

Why is it better? The old version returns earlier.

It's better for several reasons, imho:
1. Negation has gone, which is better for perception
2. Single function exit point
3. The same functionality in less code

And what do you mean by "The old version returns earlier"?

It means the old version uses a variable less and we prefer early return statements when possible.

@Tobion, but how could it be "earlier"? In both cases the ```return``` statement goes exactly after the condition check:

1)
```php
if (!$object) {                   // 1. check condition
    return constant($constant);   // 2. return result
}
```
2)
```php
if ($object) {                    // 1. check condition
    // ...
}

return constant($constant);       // 2. return result
```
Do you want to say that case 1) is faster?
