Insert null checks for pointer dereferences when debug assertions are enabled
Similar to how the alignment is already checked, this adds a check
for null pointer dereferences in debug mode. It is implemented similarly
to the alignment check as a `MirPass`.
This inserts checks in the same places as the `CheckAlignment` pass and additionally
also inserts checks for `Borrows`, so code like
```rust
let ptr: *const u32 = std::ptr::null();
let val: &u32 = unsafe { &*ptr };
```
will have a check inserted on dereference. This is done because null references
are UB. The alignment check doesn't cover these places, because in `&(*ptr).field`,
the exact requirement is that the final reference must be aligned. This is something to
consider further enhancements of the alignment check.
For now this is implemented as a separate `MirPass`, to make it easy to disable
this check if necessary.
This is related to a 2025H1 project goal for better UB checks in debug
mode: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-project-goals/pull/177.
