gocore: overhaul roots, expand testing

This change overhauls how roots work to prepare for supporting composite
values (roots "de-structured" and broken up into pieces, despite
representing a single type). It also expands testing a little bit to
prevent backsliding from this point.

Roots now do not have an address identity at all, and callers do not
rely on that fact anymore. They have a forged identity which is useful
for some calculations, but otherwise can only be identified by a *Root.

Pointers may now be found in composite roots, which is nice, so all
destructured values work correctly for the sake of iterating over all
pointers.

Finally, this fixes a small, old bug in typeObject where the type
pointer would be interrogated before we filtered out whether a interface
was nil or not. Because we filter dead pointers by making them appear
nil, this means we could end up looking at a bogus, clobbered type
pointer. (This may be a bug in the compiler's DWARF generation, the type
shouldn't be clobbered.)
