Currently,
for i := range a {
a[i] = nil
}
will compile to have write barriers even if a is a slice of pointers
to go:notinheap types. This happens because the optimization that
transforms this into a memclr only asks it a's element type has
pointers, and not if it specifically has heap pointers.
Fix this by changing arrayClear to use HasHeapPointer instead of
types.Haspointers. We probably shouldn't have both of these functions,
since a pointer to a notinheap type is effectively a uintptr, but
that's not going to change in this CL.

Currently, assigning a []T where T is a go:notinheap type generates an
unnecessary write barrier for storing the slice pointer.
This fixes this by teaching HasHeapPointer that this type does not
have a heap pointer, and tweaking the lowering of slice assignments so
the pointer store retains the correct type rather than simply lowering
it to a *uint8 store.

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.
