Currently TraceEdge when called with a HeapPtr<T> expects its argument to be non-null.  We often trace pointers that may be null, so a TraceNullableEdge would be useful.

(Also, the versions of TraceEdge called from the browser allow tracing null pointers - maybe these should be renamed for clarity?)
Add TraceNullableEdge API.

Wow, I had no idea that that would be such a huge cleanup. I run into places where it would help now and then, but stacking them all up together it's such an obvious win.
