We're dropping this behavior in favor of runtime.KeepAlive.
Implement runtime.KeepAlive as an intrinsic.

Run live vars test only on ssa builds.
We can't just drop KeepAlive ops during regalloc. We need
to replace them with copies.

Introduce a KeepAlive op which makes sure that its argument is kept
live until the KeepAlive. Use KeepAlive to mark pointer input
arguments as live after each function call and at each return.
We do this change only for pointer arguments. Those are the
critical ones to handle because they might have finalizers.
Doing compound arguments (slices, structs, ...) is more complicated
because we would need to track field liveness individually (we do
that for auto variables now, but inputs requires extra trickery).
Turn off the automatic marking of args as live. That way, when args
are explicitly nulled, plive will know that the original argument is
dead.
The KeepAlive op will be the eventual implementation of
runtime.KeepAlive.
