cmd/compile: use CTNIL for pointer-typed OLITERALs

We used to be more aggressive about constant folding in the frontend,
handling expressions that the Go spec does not consider constant;
e.g., "(*int)(unsafe.Pointer(uintptr(200)))". However, that led to a
lot of subtle Go spec conformance issues, so we've since abandoned
that effort (CL 151320), leaving SSA to handle these cases instead.

As such, the only time we now end up with pointer-typed OLITERALs is
when "nil" is implicitly converted to a pointer-typed variable.
Instead of representing these OLITERALs with an CTINT of 0, we can
just use CTNIL.

Saves a few bytes of memory and lines of code.
