Stop concealing pointer provenance in phn_link_get
At least for LLVM, [casting from an integer to a pointer hides provenance information](https://clang.llvm.org/extra/clang-tidy/checks/performance/no-int-to-ptr.html) and inhibits optimizations. Here's a [Godbolt link](https://godbolt.org/z/5bYPcKoWT) showing how this change removes a couple unnecessary branches in `phn_merge_siblings`, which is a very hot function. Canary profiles show only minor improvements (since most of the cost of this function is in cache misses), but there's no reason we shouldn't take it.
