Two or more constants can have the same location. We handled this
correctly for non squashed constants, but failed to do it if squashed
(resulting in out-of-bounds memory access), because the code structure
became broken by commit 0f65f3eec4: we failed to update 'last_loc'
correctly when skipping these squashed constants.
The simplest fix seems to be to get rid of 'last_loc' altogether -- in
hindsight, it's quite pointless. Also, when ignoring a constant because
of this, make sure to fulfill fill_in_constant_lengths's duty of setting
its length to -1.
Lastly, we can use == instead of <= because the locations have been
sorted beforehand, so the < case cannot arise.
