cmd/compile, unique: model data flow of non-string pointers

Currently, hash/maphash.Comparable escapes its parameter if it
contains non-string pointers, but does not escape strings or types
that contain strings but no other pointers. This is achieved by a
compiler intrinsic.

unique.Make does something similar: it stores its parameter to a
central map, with strings cloned. So from the escape analysis's
perspective, the non-string pointers are passed through, whereas
string pointers are not. We currently cannot model this type of
type-dependent data flow directly in Go. So we do this with a
compiler intrinsic. In fact, we can unify this and the intrinsic
above.

Tests are from Jake Bailey's CL 671955 (thanks!).

Fixes #73680.
