cmd/compile: recognize (*[Big]T)(ptr)[:n:m] pattern for -d=checkptr

A common idiom for turning an unsafe.Pointer into a slice is to write:

    s := (*[Big]T)(ptr)[:n:m]

This technically violates Go's unsafe pointer rules (rule #1 says T2
can't be bigger than T1), but it's fairly common and not too difficult
to recognize, so might as well allow it for now so we can make
progress on #34972.

This should be revisited if #19367 is accepted.

Updates #22218.
Updates #34972.
