CL submitted prematurely by mistake.

««« original CL description
spec: clarify index and selector expressions

1) Explain a[i] and a[i:j] where a is of type *A as
   shortcut for (*a)[i] and (*a)[i:j], respectively.

2) Together with 1), because len() of nil slices is
   well defined, there's no need to special case nil
   operands anymore.

3) The result of indexing or slicing a constant string
   is always a non-constant byte or string value.

4) The result of slicing an untyped string is a value
   of type string.

5) If the operand of a valid slice a[i:j] is nil (i, j
   must be 0 for it to be valid - this already follows
   from the in-range rules), the result is a nil slice.

Fixes #4913.
Fixes #5951.
