Description
`const fn` [has landed in Rust stable][pg]! It would be really helpful in one of my projects if nalgebra adopted it for constructors. The shortlist of types I need is `Point2`, `Point3`, `Vector2`, `Vector3`, `UnitComplex`, `UnitQuaternion`. But it probably makes sense for every type in the library.

Things like `UnitComplex::new` might not work due to compile-time restrictions on FP math, but I'm happy to work around that with `UnitComplex::from_cos_sin_unchecked` or whatever else makes sense.
Adding the keyword is a simple enough change (at least I hope!), but it will break on older compilers and I don't know your policy on Rust version compatibility.
