Currently, for a write of a pointer (e.g. *p = x where x is a
pointer), we generate an explicit nil check of p, despite that the
store instruction may have the same faulting behavior as the nil
check. This is because the write needs a write barrier, which
creates a control flow, which prevents the nil check being removed
as it is in a differnt block as the actual store.
This CL duplicates the nil check to two branches, so it is likely
that they will be followed by the actual store and the write
barrier load, which may have the same faulting behavior, so they
can be removed.

Most of the test cases in the test directory use the new go:build syntax
already. Convert the rest. In general, try to place the build constraint
line below the test directive comment in more places.
For #41184.
For #60268.

This commit adapts compile tool to create correct nilchecks for AIX.
AIX allows to load a nil pointer. Therefore, the default nilcheck
which issues a load must be replaced by a CMP instruction followed by a
store at 0x0 if the value is nil. The store will trigger a SIGSEGV as on
others OS.
The nilcheck algorithm must be adapted to do not remove nilcheck if it's
only a read. Stores are detected with v.Type.IsMemory().
Tests related to nilptr must be adapted to the previous changements.
nilptr.go cannot be used as it's because the AIX address space starts at
1<<32.
