Add more ARM64 optimizations:
- use hardware zero register when it is possible.
- use shifted ops.
The assembler supports shifted ops but not documented, nor knows
how to print it. This CL adds them.
- enable fast division.
This was disabled because it makes the old backend generate slower
code. But with SSA it generates faster code.
Turn on SSA by default, also adjust tests.

Last part of the 386 SSA port.
Modify the x86 backend to simulate SSE registers and
instructions with 387 registers and instructions.
The simulation isn't terribly performant, but it works,
and the old implementation wasn't very performant either.
Leaving to people who care about 387 to optimize if they want.
Turn on SSA backend for 386 by default.
Fixes#16358

It's not a new backend, just a PtrSize==4 modification
of the existing AMD64 backend.

NaCl code runs in sandbox and there are restrictions for its
instruction uses
(https://developer.chrome.com/native-client/reference/sandbox_internals/arm-32-bit-sandbox).
Like the legacy backend, on NaCl,
- don't use R9, which is used as NaCl's "thread pointer".
- don't use Duff's device.
- don't use indexed load/stores.
- the assembler rewrites DIV/MOD to runtime calls, which on NaCl
clobbers R12, so R12 is marked as clobbered for DIV/MOD.
- other restrictions are satisfied by the assembler.
Enable SSA specific tests on nacl/arm, and disable non-SSA ones.
Updates #15365.

As Josh mentioned in CL 24716, there has been requests for using SSA
for ARM. SSA can still be disabled by setting -ssa=0 for cmd/compile,
or partially enabled with GOSSAFUNC, GOSSAPKG, and GOSSAHASH.
Not enable SSA by default on NaCl, which is not supported yet.
Enable SSA-specific tests on ARM: live_ssa.go and nilptr3_ssa.go;
disable non-SSA tests: live.go, nilptr3.go, and slicepot.go.
Updates #15365.

No point in doing anything for x=x assignments.
In addition, skipping these assignments prevents generating:
VARDEF x
COPY x -> x
which is bad because x is incorrectly considered
dead before the vardef.

Compound AUTO types weren't named previously. That was because live
variable analysis (plive.go) doesn't handle spilling to compound types.
It can't handle them because there is no valid place to put VARDEFs when
regalloc is spilling compound types.
compound types = multiword builtin types: complex, string, slice, and
interface.
Instead, we split named AUTOs into individual one-word variables. For
example, a string s gets split into a byte ptr s.ptr and an integer
s.len. Those two variables can be spilled to / restored from
independently. As a result, live variable analysis can handle them
because they are one-word objects.
This CL will change how AUTOs are described in DWARF information.
Consider the code:
func f(s string, i int) int {
x := s[i:i+5]
g()
return lookup(x)
}
The old compiler would spill x to two consecutive slots on the stack,
both named x (at offsets 0 and 8). The new compiler spills the pointer
of x to a slot named x.ptr. It doesn't spill x.len at all, as it is a
constant (5) and can be rematerialized for the call to lookup.
So compound objects may not be spilled in their entirety, and even if
they are they won't necessarily be contiguous. Such is the price of
optimization.
Re-enable live variable analysis tests. One test remains disabled, it
fails because of #14904.
