The docs currently say:

The const_fn feature allows marking free functions and inherent methods as const, enabling them to be called in constants contexts, with constant arguments.

But that part of const_fn is already stable: #![feature(const_fn)] enables additional functionality.

Update const-fn doc in unstable-book

Fix rust-lang#79691

I couldn't find suitable examples. It seems that `const_fn` feature-gate used only following place. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/810324d1f31eb8d75e8f0044df720652986ef133/compiler/rustc_ast_passes/src/feature_gate.rs#L560-L562

And example like following emits [E0379](https://doc.rust-lang.org/error-index.html#E0379).

```rust
#![feature(const_fn)]

trait Foo {
    const fn bar() -> Self;
}
```

Any other suitable example exists, please let me know.
