In CL 424734, I implemented pointer shaping for unified IR. Evidently
though, we didn't have any test cases that check that uses of
pointer-shaped expressions were handled correctly.
In the reported test case, the struct field "children items[*node[T]]"
gets shaped to "children items[go.shape.*uint8]" (underlying type
"[]go.shape.*uint8"); and so the expression "n.children[i]" has type
"go.shape.*uint8" and the ".items" field selection expression fails.
The fix implemented in this CL is that any expression of derived type
now gets an explicit "reshape" operation applied to it, to ensure it
has the appropriate type for its context. E.g., the "n.children[i]"
OINDEX expression above gets "reshaped" from "go.shape.*uint8" to
"*node[go.shape.int]", allowing the field selection to succeed.
This CL also adds a "-d=reshape" compiler debugging flag, because I
anticipate debugging reshaping operations will be something to come up
again in the future.
Fixes#54535.
