When nilcheck runs, the values in a block are not in any particular
order. So any facts derived from examining the blocks shouldn't be
used until we reach the next block.
This is suboptimal as it won't eliminate nil checks within a block.
But it's probably a better fix for now as it is a much smaller change
than other strategies for fixing this bug.
nilptr3.go changes are mostly because for this pattern:
_ = *p
_ = *p
either nil check is fine to keep, and this CL changes which one
the compiler tends to keep.
There are a few regressions from code like this:
_ = *p
f()
_ = *p
For this pattern, after this CL we issue 2 nil checks instead of one.
(For the curious, this happens because intra-block nil check
elimination now falls to CSE, not nilcheck proper. The former
pattern has two nil checks with the same store argument. The latter
pattern has two nil checks with different store arguments.)
