Introduce lowering to remove null checks for primitive type
expressions and replace them with true/false. Side-effects
are preserved.
Generate ifnull/ifnonnull instructions for null checks instead
of materializing a null literal for an equality check.
All bytecode text tests are run with stdlib in the classpath and only
for JVM backend, therefore directives WITH_RUNTIME, TARGET_BACKEND,
IGNORE_BACKEND are not needed
