cmd/compile: remove more nil ptr checks after newobject

For code like the following (where x escapes):

   x := []int{1}

We're currently generating a nil check.  The line above is really 3 operations:

	t := new([1]int)
	t[0] = 1
	x := t[:]

We remove the nil check for t[0] = 1, but not for t[:].

Our current nil check removal rule is too strict about the possible
memory arguments of the nil check. Unlike zeroing or storing to the
result of runtime.newobject, the nilness of runtime.newobject is
always false, even after other stores have happened in the meantime.
