Type switches need write barriers if the written-to
variable is heap allocated.
For the added needwritebarrier call, the right arg doesn't
really matter, I just pass something that will never disqualify
the write barrier. The left arg is the one that matters.
Fixes#14306

The code generated for x = append(x, v) is roughly:
t := x
if len(t)+1 > cap(t) {
t = grow(t)
}
t[len(t)] = v
len(t)++
x = t
We used to generate this code as Go pseudocode during walk.
Generate it instead as actual instructions during gen.
Doing so lets us apply a few optimizations. The most important
is that when, as in the above example, the source slice and the
destination slice are the same, the code can instead do:
t := x
if len(t)+1 > cap(t) {
t = grow(t)
x = {base(t), len(t)+1, cap(t)}
} else {
len(x)++
}
t[len(t)] = v
That is, in the fast path that does not reallocate the array,
only the updated length needs to be written back to x,
not the array pointer and not the capacity. This is more like
what you'd write by hand in C. It's faster in general, since
the fast path elides two of the three stores, but it's especially
faster when the form of x is such that the base pointer write
would turn into a write barrier. No write, no barrier.

See next CL for combination with a similar optimization for slice.
The benchmarks that are slower in this CL are still faster overall
with the combination of the two.

We can expand the test cases as we discover problems.
This is some basic tests plus all the things I got wrong
in some recent work.
