Alexey Andreev e77997c93f Implement null check in C backend
Although initial purpose of this comment was null check,
it took much time to complete it and it caused many unrelated changes.
Besides just implementing null check in quite naive fashion
(I could not use the trick with memory protection, since I have to
maintain shadow stack, and support WebAssembly), I had to optimize
things. I relied on my existing nullness analysis to eliminate
as much null checks as possible. However, the whole nullness analysis
was wrong. After some thoughts I came up with solution very
close to range analysis, which required me to introduce extension
to IR sometimes called e-SSA form with so called sigma nodes.
Also, I found some bugs in few different places (by the time write this
message I could only remember escape analysis/scalar replacement and
after-inlining devirtualization) and fixed them.
