Hojun-Cho 67e27589fd selfhost: mirror nullable pointer folding for (*T | void)
C-cgen-side nullable folding landed in f4efaac. This commit catches
the selfhost cgen up so a wwstage-compiled binary produces the same
ABI for `(*T | void)`.

- cgenutil: isnullabletype(), nullableptrtag() helpers shaped to
  the selfhost cgen's AST-only world view (it doesn't carry a Type
  with a .nullable flag — it walks N_TTAGGED node lists). slotsize
  returns 8 for nullable.
- cgenexpr cgmatch: nullable arm uses pointer-vs-null discriminator
  and binds only the *T case (void has size 0).
- cgenstmt cglet: nullable target spills only AX (no tag word, no
  value-word DX/CX).
- cgenstmt cgreturn: nullable return passes AX through with no
  shuffle; bare `return;` emits AX = 0 (void encoding).

Verified end-to-end: a fn returning `(*i32 | void)` compiled by the
wwstage cgen produces the same exit code as the C-cgen build. The
995 fixed-point gate stays green — no selfhost source uses nullable
yet, so the existing tagged paths are still byte-identical.
