RFR: JDK-8294902: Undefined Behavior in C2 regalloc with null references [v8]

[Andrew Haley]

> This patch fixes the remaining null pointer dereference bugs that I know of.
> 
> For the main bug, C2 was using a null reference to indicate an uninitialized `Node_List`. I replaced the null reference with a static sentinel.
> 
> I also turned on `-fsanitize=null` and found and fixed a bunch of other null pointer dereferences. With this,I have run a full bootstrap and tier1 tests with `-fsanitize=null` enabled.
> 
> I have checked that the code generated by GCC is not worse in any significant way, so I don't expect to see any performance regressions.
> 
> I'd like to enable `-fsanitize=null` in debug builds to prevent regressions in this area. What do you think?
