Revert "[analyzer] Check that a member expr is valid even when the result is an lvalue."

The original intent of this commit was to catch potential null dereferences
early, but it breaks the common "home-grown offsetof" idiom (PR13927):

 (((struct Foo *)0)->member - ((struct foo *)0))

As it turns out, this appears to be legal in C, per a footnote in
C11 6.5.3.2: "Thus, &*E is equivalent to E (even if E is a null pointer)".
In C++ this issue is still open:

We'll just have to make sure we have good path notes in the future.

This reverts r164441 / 9be016dcd1ca3986873a7b66bd4bc027309ceb59.
