Prevent conversions between Pointer types,
like we do for sync/atomic.Pointer.

Currently weak.Pointer.Value will panic if the weak.Pointer is
uninitialized (zero value) which goes against it's documentation. Fix
this and add a test. While we're here, also add a test to ensure
weak.Make[T](nil) is equivalent to the zero value of weak.Pointer[T].
Fixes#71153.

Currently specials try to save on space by only encoding the offset from
the base of the span in a uint16. This worked fine up until Go 1.24.
- Most specials have an offset of 0 (mem profile, finalizers, etc.)
- Cleanups do not care about the offset at all, so even if it's wrong,
it's OK.
- Weak pointers *do* care, but the unique package always makes a new
allocation, so the weak pointer handle offset it makes is always zero.
With Go 1.24 and general weak pointers now available, nothing is
stopping someone from just creating a weak pointer that is >64 KiB
offset from the start of an object, and this weak pointer must be
distinct from others.
Fix this problem by just increasing the size of a special and making the
offset a uintptr, to capture all possible offsets. Since we're in the
freeze, this is the safest thing to do. Specials aren't so common that I
expect a substantial memory increase from this change. In a future
release (or if there is a problem) we can almost certainly pack the
special's kind and offset together. There was already a bunch of wasted
space due to padding, so this would bring us back to the same memory
footprint before this change.
Also, add tests for equality of basic weak interior pointers. This
works, but we really should've had tests for it.
Fixes#70739.
