cmd/compile: fix varexpr handling of ODOT

For a long time varexpr has handled ODOT incorrectly: it has always
returned false.  Before https://golang.org/cl/20890 this has been
because an ODOT had a Right field with an ONAME with no Class, for which
varexpr returns false.  CL 20890 preserved the behavior of varexpr for
ODOT, so that the change would pass toolstash -cmp.

This CL fixes varexpr so that ODOT can return true in some cases.  This
breaks toolstash -cmp.  While the changed compiler allocates temporary
variables in a different order, I have not been able to find any
examples where the generated code is different, other than using
different stack offsets and, in some cases, registers.  It seems that
other parts of the compiler will force the ODOT into a temporary anyhow.

Still, this change is clearly correct, and is a minor compiler cleanup.
