Restore T: Sized on ptr::is_null

The exact semantics of `is_null` on unsized pointers are still debatable,
especially for trait objects.  It may be legal to call `*mut self`
methods on a trait object someday, as with Go interfaces, so `is_null`
might need to validate the vtable pointer too.

For `as_ref` and `as_mut`, we're assuming that you cannot have a non-null
data pointer with a null vtable, so casting the unsized check is fine.
