cmd/compile: avoid infinite loops in dead blocks during phi insertion

Now that we no longer generate dead code,
it is possible to follow block predecessors
into infinite loops with no variable definitions,
causing an infinite loop during phi insertion.

To fix that, check explicitly whether the predecessor
is dead in lookupVarOutgoing, and if so, bail.

The loop in lookupVarOutgoing is very hot code,
so I am wary of adding anything to it.
However, a long, CPU-only benchmarking run shows no
performance impact at all.

Fixes #19783
