Fix subtly-wrong volatility checking in BeginCopyFrom().

contain_volatile_functions() is best applied to the output of
expression_planner(), not its input, so that insertion of function
default arguments and constant-folding have been done.  (See comments
at CheckMutability, for instance.)  It's perhaps unlikely that anyone
will notice a difference in practice, but still we should do it properly.

In passing, change variable type from Node* to Expr* to reduce the net
number of casts needed.

Noted while perusing uses of contain_volatile_functions().
