CONST applies negation higher than exponentiation

[mkilgore]

CONST evaluates -2 ^ 2 as (-2) ^ 2 and thus gives 4. However, if you actually evaluate this expression in Ex. a PRINT statement you'll find it evaluates to -4 because QB64's order of operations treat that as -(2 ^ 2), exponentiation is higher then negation.

I'm considering this a bug since CONST should have the same operator order as regular QB64 (IE. Any expression evaluated as CONST should give exactly the same value as evaluating it as a non-CONST), but it's notable that exponents are not allowed to be in CONST expressions in QB45 for some reason, so this is not a compatibility issue with QB45.
