4224d81fae cmd/internal/gc: inline x := y.(*T) and x, ok := y.(*T)
These can be implemented with just a compare and a move instruction.
Do so, avoiding the overhead of a call into the runtime.

These assertions are a significant cost in Go code that uses interface{}
as a safe alternative to C's void* (or unsafe.Pointer), such as the
current version of the Go compiler.

*T here includes pointer to T but also any Go type represented as
a single pointer (chan, func, map). It does not include [1]*T or struct{*int}.
That requires more work in other parts of the compiler; there is a TODO.
