var a []int = ...
p := &a[0]
_ = *p
We don't need to nil check on the 3rd line. If the bounds check on the 2nd
line passes, we know p is non-nil.
We rely on the fact that any cap>0 slice has a non-nil pointer as its
pointer to the backing array. This is true for all safely-constructed slices,
and I don't see any reason why someone would violate this rule using unsafe.

Rename memclrrange to signify that it does not handle
all types of range clears.
Simplify checks to detect the range clear idiom for
arrays and slices.
Add tests to verify the optimization for the slice
range clear idiom is being applied by the compiler.
