Austin Clements 8871c930be cmd/compile: don't lower OpConvert
Currently, each architecture lowers OpConvert to an arch-specific
OpXXXconvert. This is silly because OpConvert means the same thing on
all architectures and is logically a no-op that exists only to keep
track of conversions to and from unsafe.Pointer. Furthermore, lowering
it makes it harder to recognize in other analyses, particularly
liveness analysis.

This CL eliminates the lowering of OpConvert, leaving it as the
generic op until code generation time.

The main complexity here is that we still need to register-allocate
OpConvert operations. Currently, each arch's lowered OpConvert
specifies all GP registers in its register mask. Ideally, OpConvert
wouldn't affect value homing at all, and we could just copy the home
of OpConvert's source, but this can potentially home an OpConvert in a
LocalSlot, which neither regalloc nor stackalloc expect. Rather than
try to disentangle this assumption from regalloc and stackalloc, we
continue to register-allocate OpConvert, but teach regalloc that
OpConvert can be allocated to any allocatable GP register.

For #24543.
