Previously for a method value "x.M", we always flowed x directly to
the heap, which led to the receiver argument generally needing to be
heap allocated.
This CL changes it to flow x to the closure and M's receiver
parameter. This allows receiver arguments to be stack allocated as
long as (1) the closure never escapes, *and* (2) method doesn't leak
its receiver parameter.
Within the standard library, this allows a handful of objects to be
stack allocated instead. Listed here are diagnostics that were
previously emitted by "go build -gcflags=-m std cmd" that are no
longer emitted:

Thanks to Cuong Manh Le for help coming up with this solution.

This commit just adds a regress test for a few of the important corner
cases that I identified in #27557, which turn out to not be tested
anywhere.
While here, annotate a few of the existing test cases where we could
improve escape analysis.
Updates #27557.
