cmd/compile: add -d=checkptr to validate unsafe.Pointer rules
This CL adds -d=checkptr as a compile-time option for adding
instrumentation to check that Go code is following unsafe.Pointer
safety rules dynamically. In particular, it currently checks two
things:
1. When converting unsafe.Pointer to *T, make sure the resulting
pointer is aligned appropriately for T.
2. When performing pointer arithmetic, if the result points to a Go
heap object, make sure we can find an unsafe.Pointer-typed operand
that pointed into the same object.
These checks are currently disabled for the runtime, and can also be
disabled through a new //go:nocheckptr annotation. The latter is
necessary for functions like strings.noescape, which intentionally
violate safety rules to workaround escape analysis limitations.
Fixes #22218.
