Have nil checks return a pointer that is known non-nil. Users of
that pointer can use the result, ensuring that they are ordered
after the nil check itself.
The order dependence goes away after scheduling, when we've fixed
an order. At that point we move uses back to the original pointer
so it doesn't change regalloc any.
This prevents pointer arithmetic on nil from being spilled to the
stack and then observed by a stack scan.
Fixes#63657
