The old write barriers used _nostore versions, which
don't work for Ian's cgo checker. Instead, we adopt the
same write barrier pattern as the default compiler.
It's a bit trickier to code up but should be more efficient.

It's fairly common to call cgo functions with conversions to
unsafe.Pointer or other C types. Apply the simpler checking of address
expressions when possible when the address expression occurs within a
type conversion.

If you set GODEBUG=cgocheck=2 the runtime package will use the write
barrier to detect cases where a Go program writes a Go pointer into
non-Go memory. In conjunction with the existing cgo checks, and the
not-yet-implemented cgo check for exported functions, this should
reliably detect all cases (that do not import the unsafe package) in
which a Go pointer is incorrectly shared with C code. This check is
optional because it turns on the write barrier at all times, which is
known to be expensive.

This implements part of the proposal in issue 12416 by adding dynamic
checks for passing pointers from Go to C. This code is intended to be
on at all times. It does not try to catch every case. It does not
implement checks on calling Go functions from C.
The new cgo checks may be disabled using GODEBUG=cgocheck=0.
