c5414457c6 cmd/compile: pad zero-sized stack variables
If someone takes a pointer to a zero-sized stack variable, it can
be incorrectly interpreted as a pointer to the next object in the
stack frame. To avoid this, add some padding after zero-sized variables.

We only need to pad if the next variable in memory (which is the
previous variable in the order in which we allocate variables to the
stack frame) has pointers. If the next variable has no pointers, it
won't hurt to have a pointer to it.

Because we allocate all pointer-containing variables before all
non-pointer-containing variables, we should only have to pad once per
frame.

Fixes #24993
