bootstrapped and regtested on x86_64-linux-gnu, ok?

I actually make use of this in the analyzer: the analyzer sets
input_location to stmt->location when analyzing a given stmt - that
way, if the analyzer ICEs, the ICE is shown at the code construct that
crashed the analyzer.

This behavior is useful to me, and would be lost with the proposed
patch.

I made this change because otherwise if the compiler ICE's while access
to input_location is blocked we end up infinitely recursing complaining
we can't access it while trying to say where the last error was.  I was
nervous about the change before, and now I agree we need something
else.

How about allowing a scope (like internal_error) to explicitly un-poison the variable?

Separately, all the location_t (input_location) changes are pretty clunky, can we make that conversion part of the macro?
