Keith Randall 3134ab3c2d cmd/compile: redo nil checks
Get rid of BlockCheck. Josh goaded me into it, and I went
down a rabbithole making it happen.

NilCheck now panics if the pointer is nil and returns void, as before.
BlockCheck is gone, and NilCheck is no longer a Control value for
any block. It just exists (and deadcode knows not to throw it away).

I rewrote the nilcheckelim pass to handle this case.  In particular,
there can now be multiple NilCheck ops per block.

I moved all of the arch-dependent nil check elimination done as
part of ssaGenValue into its own proper pass, so we don't have to
duplicate that code for every architecture.

Making the arch-dependent nil check its own pass means I needed
to add a bunch of flags to the opcode table so I could write
the code without arch-dependent ops everywhere.
