Add EAF_NODIRECTESCAPE flag
Main limitation of modref is the fact that it does not
track anything in memory. This is intentional - I wanted the initial
implementation to be cheap. However it also makes it very limited when it comes
to detecting noescape especially because it is paranoid about what memory
accesses may be used to copy (bits of) pointers.
This patch adds EAF_NODIRECTSCAPE that is weaker vairant of EAF_NOESCAPE where
we only know that the pointer itself does not escape, but memory pointed to
may. This is a lot more reliable to auto-detect that EAF_NOESCAPE and still
enables additional optimization. With patch we get nodirectscape flag for b
that enables in practice similar optimization as EAF_NOESCAPE for arrays of
integers that points nowhere :)

EAF_NODIRECTESCAPE.
