I first prototyped this change in Sept 2011, and I discarded it
because it made no difference in the obvious benchmark loop.
It still makes no difference in the obvious benchmark loop,
but in a less obvious one, doing some extra computation
around the calls to Sqrt, not making the call does have a
significant effect.
benchmark old ns/op new ns/op delta
BenchmarkSqrt 4.56 4.57 +0.22%
BenchmarkSqrtIndirect 4.56 4.56 +0.00%
BenchmarkSqrtGo 69.4 69.4 +0.00%
BenchmarkSqrtPrime 4417 3647 -17.43%
This is a warmup for using hardware expansions for some
calls to 1-line assembly routines in the runtime (for example getg).

The ProgInfo is loaded many times during each analysis pass.
Load it once at the beginning (in Flowstart if using that, or explicitly,
as in plive.go) and then refer to the cached copy.
Removes many calls to proginfo.
Makes Prog a little bigger, but the previous CL more than compensates.

Also replace proginfo call with cheaper calls where only flags are needed.

This avoids the argument appearing to escape
(due to the fact that proginfo is always called
via a function pointer).
