Keith Randall e283473ebb cmd/compile: avoid using destination pointer base type in memmove optimization ...

The type of the source and destination of a memmove call isn't
always accurate. It will always be a pointer (or an unsafe.Pointer), but
the base type might not be accurate. This comes about because multiple
copies of a pointer with different base types are coalesced into a single value.

In the failing example, the IData selector of the input argument is a
*[32]byte in one branch of the type switch, and a *[]byte in the other branch.
During the expand_calls pass both IDatas become just copies of the input
register. Those copies are deduped and an arbitrary one wins (in this case,
*[]byte is the unfortunate winner).

Generally an op v can rely on v.Type during rewrite rules. But relying
on v.Args[i].Type is discouraged.

Fixes #55122
