The patch adds more cases to agenr to allocate registers later,
and makes 6g generate addresses for sgen in something else than
SI and DI. It avoids a complex save/restore sequence that
amounts to allocate a register before descending in subtrees.

Fixes #4207.

There was an init race between
	check_test.go:init
        universe.go:def
        use of Universe
and
	universe.go:init
        creation of Universe

The order in which init funcs are executed in a package is unspecified.
The test is not currently broken in the golang.org environment
because the go tool compiles the test with non-test sources before test sources,
but other environments may, say, sort the source files before compiling,
and thus trigger this race, causing a nil pointer panic.

As discussed in issue 2540, nulls are allowed for any type in JSON so they should not result in an error during Unmarshal.

Arbitrary decisions: order of the arguments and the
fact it takes a block-type argument (rather than
leaving to user to fill it in later); I'm happy whatever
colour we want to paint it.

We also change DecryptPEMBlock so that it won't
panic when the IV has the wrong size.
