This CL exports the existing ir.UintptrKeepAlive via the new directive
//go:uintptrkeepalive. This makes the compiler insert KeepAlives for
pointers converted to uintptr in calls, keeping them alive for the
duration of the call.
//go:uintptrkeepalive requires //go:nosplit, as stack growth can't
handle these arguments (it cannot know which are pointers). We currently
check this on the immediate function, but the actual restriction applies
to all transitive calls.
The existing //go:uintptrescapes is an extension of
//go:uintptrkeepalive which forces pointers to escape to the heap, thus
eliminating the stack growth issue.
This pragma is limited to the standard library.
For #51087
