Bug #22004: parse.y doesn't executes loop body with `while true || true` condition
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/22004#change-117270

----------------------------------------
```rb
while true || true
  puts 1
end
```

This should never exit but with parse.y, the body is never executed. It seems to happen when one of the conditions is a truthy literal. Something similar happens with `unitl`:

```rb
until false && true
  puts 1
end
```

By moving the literals out to methods that just return them, it behaves like I would expect. Seems to have started happening in Ruby 3.3.
