Record when a local pointer variable is set to a value such that indirecting through the pointer does not require a write barrier. Use that to eliminate write barriers when indirecting through that local pointer variable. Only keep this information per-block, so it's not all that applicable. This reduces the number of write barriers generated when compiling the runtime package from 553 to 524. The point of this is to eliminate a bad write barrier in the bytes function in runtime/print.go. Mark that function nowritebarrier so that the problem does not recur.
