cmd/compile: fix nilcheck for AIX
This commit adapts compile tool to create correct nilchecks for AIX. AIX allows to load a nil pointer. Therefore, the default nilcheck which issues a load must be replaced by a CMP instruction followed by a store at 0x0 if the value is nil. The store will trigger a SIGSEGV as on others OS. The nilcheck algorithm must be adapted to do not remove nilcheck if it's only a read. Stores are detected with v.Type.IsMemory(). Tests related to nilptr must be adapted to the previous changements. nilptr.go cannot be used as it's because the AIX address space starts at 1<<32.
