Add a specialized instruction for `.nil?` calls
This commit adds a specialized instruction for called to `.nil?`. It is
about 27% faster than master in the case where the object is nil or not
nil. In the case where an object implements `nil?`, I think it may be
slightly slower. Here is a benchmark:
```ruby
require "benchmark/ips"
class Niller
def nil?; true; end
end
not_nil = Object.new
xnil = nil
niller = Niller.new
Benchmark.ips do |x|
x.report("nil?") { xnil.nil? }
x.report("not nil") { not_nil.nil? }
x.report("niller") { niller.nil? }
end
```
