Introduce a KeepAlive op which makes sure that its argument is kept live until the KeepAlive. Use KeepAlive to mark pointer input arguments as live after each function call and at each return. We do this change only for pointer arguments. Those are the critical ones to handle because they might have finalizers. Doing compound arguments (slices, structs, ...) is more complicated because we would need to track field liveness individually (we do that for auto variables now, but inputs requires extra trickery). Turn off the automatic marking of args as live. That way, when args are explicitly nulled, plive will know that the original argument is dead. The KeepAlive op will be the eventual implementation of runtime.KeepAlive.
