Fixes #136568. Ensures that we check that borrows of derefs are non-null in the
CheckNullpass even if it's a ZST pointee.I'm actually surprised that this is UB in Miri, but if it's certainly UB, then this PR modifies the null check to be stricter. I couldn't find anywhere in https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/behavior-considered-undefined.html that discusses this case specifically, but I didn't read it too closely, or perhaps it's just missing a bullet point.
On the contrary, if this is actually erroneous UB in Miri, then I'm happy to close this (and perhaps fix the null check in Miri to exclude ZSTs?)
On the double contrary, if this is still an "open question", I'm also happy to close this and wait for a decision to be made.
