This CL extends escape analysis in two ways.
First, we already optimize directly called closures. For example,
given:
var x int // already stack allocated today
p := func() *int { return &x }()
we don't need to move x to the heap, because we can statically track
where &x flows. This CL extends the same idea to work for indirectly
called closures too, as long as we know everywhere that they're
called. For example:
var x int // stack allocated after this CL
f := func() *int { return &x }
p := f()
This will allow a subsequent CL to move the generation of go/defer
wrappers earlier.
Second, this CL adds tracking to detect when pointer values flow to
the pointee operand of an indirect assignment statement (i.e., flows
to p in "*p = x") or to builtins that modify memory (append, copy,
clear). This isn't utilized in the current CL, but a subsequent CL
will make use of it to better optimize string->[]byte conversions.

The compiler renames anonymous and blank result parameters to ~rN or
~bN, but the current semantics for computing N are rather annoying and
difficult to reproduce cleanly. They also lead to difficult to read
escape analysis results in tests.
This CL changes N to always be calculated as the parameter's index
within the function's result parameter tuple. E.g., if a function has
a single result, it will now always be named "~r0".
The normative change to this CL is fairly simple, but it requires
updating a lot of test expectations.

Escape analysis is currently very naive about identifying calls to
known functions: it only recognizes direct calls to a declared
function, or direct calls to a closure.
This CL adds a new "staticValue" helper function that can trace back
through local variables that were initialized and never reassigned
based on a similar optimization already used by inlining. (And to be
used by inlining in a followup CL.)

This information is redundant with the position information already
provided. Also, no other -m diagnostics print out function name.
While here, report parameter leak diagnostics against the parameter
declaration position rather than the function, and use Warnl for
"moved to heap" messages.
Test cases updated programmatically by removing the first word from
every "no match for" error emitted by run.go:

In general, a conversion to interface type may require values to be
boxed, which in turn necessitates escape analysis to determine whether
the boxed representation can be stack allocated.
However, esc.go used to unconditionally print escape analysis
decisions about OCONVIFACE, even for conversions that don't require
boxing (e.g., pointers, channels, maps, functions).
For test compatibility with esc.go, escape.go similarly printed these
useless diagnostics. This CL removes the diagnostics, and updates test
expectations accordingly.

The new escape analysis implementation tries to emit debugging
diagnostics that are compatible with the existing implementation, but
there's a handful of cases that are easier to handle by updating the
test expectations instead.
For regress tests that need updating, the original file is copied to
oldescapeXXX.go.go with -newescape=false added to the //errorcheck
line, while the file is updated in place with -newescape=true and new
test requirements.
Notable test changes:
1) escape_because.go looks for a lot of detailed internal debugging
messages that are fairly particular to how esc.go works and that I
haven't attempted to port over to escape.go yet.
2) There are a lot of "leaking param: x to result ~r1 level=-1"
messages for code like
func(p *int) *T { return &T{p} }
that were simply wrong. Here &T must be heap allocated unconditionally
(because it's being returned); and since p is stored into it, p
escapes unconditionally too. esc.go incorrectly reports that p escapes
conditionally only if the returned pointer escaped.
3) esc.go used to print each "leaking param" analysis result as it
discovered them, which could lead to redundant messages (e.g., that a
param leaks at level=0 and level=1). escape.go instead prints
everything at the end, once it knows the shortest path to each sink.
4) esc.go didn't precisely model direct-interface types, resulting in
some values unnecessarily escaping to the heap when stored into
non-escaping interface values.
5) For functions written in assembly, esc.go only printed "does not
escape" messages, whereas escape.go prints "does not escape" or
"leaking param" as appropriate, consistent with the behavior for
functions written in Go.
6) 12 tests included "BAD" annotations identifying cases where esc.go
was unnecessarily heap allocating something. These are all fixed by
escape.go.

For most nodes (e.g., OPTRLIT, OMAKESLICE, OCONVIFACE), escape
analysis prints "escapes to heap" or "does not escape" to indicate
whether that node's allocation can be heap or stack allocated.
These messages are also emitted for OADDR, even though OADDR does not
actually allocate anything itself. Moreover, it's redundant because
escape analysis already prints "moved to heap" diagnostics when an
OADDR node like "&x" causes x to require heap allocation.
Because OADDR nodes don't allocate memory, my escape analysis rewrite
doesn't naturally emit the "escapes to heap" / "does not escape"
diagnostics for them. It's also non-trivial to replicate the exact
semantics esc.go uses for OADDR.
Since there are so many of these messages, I'm disabling them in this
CL by themselves. I modified esc.go to suppress the Warnl calls
without any other behavior changes, and then used a shell script to
automatically remove any ERROR messages mentioned by run.go in
"missing error" or "no match for" lines.

Until now, the parser set the position for each Node to the position of
the first token belonging to that node. For compatibility with the now
defunct gc parser, in many places that position information was modified
when the gcCompat flag was set (which it was, by default). Furthermore,
in some places, position information was not set at all.
This change removes the gcCompat flag and all associated code, and sets
position information for all nodes in a more principled way, as proposed
by mdempsky (see #16943 for details). Specifically, the position of a
node may not be at the very beginning of the respective production. For
instance for an Operation `a + b`, the position associated with the node
is the position of the `+`. Thus, for `a + b + c` we now get different
positions for the two additions.
This change does not pass toolstash -cmp because position information
recorded in export data and pcline tables is different. There are no
other functional changes.
Added test suite testing the position of all nodes.
Fixes#16943.

This includes the following information in the per-function summary:
outK = paramJ encoded in outK bits for paramJ
outK = *paramJ encoded in outK bits for paramJ
heap = paramJ EscHeap
heap = *paramJ EscContentEscapes
Note that (currently) if the address of a parameter is taken and
returned, necessarily a heap allocation occurred to contain that
reference, and the heap can never refer to stack, therefore the
parameter and everything downstream from it escapes to the heap.
The per-function summary information now has a tuneable number of bits
(2 is probably noticeably better than 1, 3 is likely overkill, but it
is now easy to check and the -m debugging output includes information
that allows you to figure out if more would be better.)
A new test was added to check pointer flow through struct-typed and
*struct-typed parameters and returns; some of these are sensitive to
the number of summary bits, and ought to yield better results with a
more competent escape analysis algorithm. Another new test checks
(some) correctness with array parameters, results, and operations.
The old analysis inferred a piece of plan9 runtime was non-escaping by
counteracting overconservative analysis with buggy analysis; with the
bug fixed, the result was too conservative (and it's not easy to fix
in this framework) so the source code was tweaked to get the desired
result. A test was added against the discovered bug.
The escape analysis was further improved splitting the "level" into
3 parts, one tracking the conventional "level" and the other two
computing the highest-level-suffix-from-copy, which is used to
generally model the cancelling effect of indirection applied to
address-of.
With the improved escape analysis enabled, it was necessary to
modify one of the runtime tests because it now attempts to allocate
too much on the (small, fixed-size) G0 (system) stack and this
failed the test.
Compiling src/std after touching src/runtime/*.go with -m logging
turned on shows 420 fewer heap allocation sites (10538 vs 10968).
