cmd/compile: fix storeType to handle pointers to go:notinheap types

storeType splits compound stores up into a scalar parts and a pointer parts.
The scalar part happens unconditionally, and the pointer part happens
under the guard of a write barrier check.

Types which are declared as pointers, but are represented as scalars because
they might have "bad" values, were not handled correctly here. They ended
up not getting stored in either set.

Fixes #42032
