Currently copy and append for types containing only scalars and
notinheap pointers still get compiled to have write barriers, even
though those write barriers are unnecessary. Fix these to use
HasHeapPointer instead of just Haspointer so that they elide write
barriers when possible.
This fixes the unnecessary write barrier in runtime.recordspan when it
grows the h.allspans slice. This is important because recordspan gets
called (*very* indirectly) from (*gcWork).tryGet, which is
go:nowritebarrierrec. Unfortunately, the compiler's analysis has no
hope of seeing this because it goes through the indirect call
fixalloc.first, but I saw it happen.

Currently (*Type).HasHeapPointer only ignores pointers go:notinheap
types if the type itself is a pointer to a go:notinheap type. However,
if it's some other type that contains pointers where all of those
pointers are go:notinheap, it will conservatively return true. As a
result, we'll use write barriers where they aren't needed, for example
calling typedmemmove instead of just memmove on structs that contain
only go:notinheap pointers.
Fix this by making HasHeapPointer walk the whole type looking for
pointers that aren't marked go:notinheap.
