[msvc] Work around strange scoping and name mangling rules.

1. msvc creates different symbols for a variable declared in
   a namespace scope and (the same variable) in a class method
   scope. That is,

   // util.cpp
   namespace GiNaC {
   extern const ex _ex0; // [1]
   }
   // ex.h

   public:
          bool is_zero() {
                extern const ex _ex0;
                // mangled name of _ex0 is different that of [1]
          }
   };
   }

2. The mangled names for cv-qualified and cv-unqualified versions
   of a type are different (which violates the requirements stated
   in [basic.type.qualifier])

These msvc's "features" cause linking failures due to unresolved
external symbols.

Solution:
1. Declare variables (_ex0) in the GiNaC namespace scope (for msvc only).
2. Add corresponding cv-qualifier(s).

algebraic_match_mul_with_mul() iterates over operands of mul, that is

However, the size of arrays (`vectors' in STL speak) passed to this
function is seq.size(), which is nops() - 1 for any mul object. Thus
algebraic_match_mul_with_mul() accesses beyond the arrays limit. Usually
it's not a problem, since any reasonable implementation of std::vector<bool>
packs booleans into ints (or longs). However, some STL implementations
(in particular, the one shipped with msvc) are more picky, and access
beyond the vector<bool> limits results in a segfault. Therefore let's
