replace map clears of the form:
for k := range m {
delete(m, k)
}
(where m is map with key type that is reflexive for ==)
with a new runtime function that clears the maps backing
array with a memclr and reinitializes the hmap struct.
Map key types that for example contain floats are not
replaced by this optimization since NaN keys cannot
be deleted from maps using delete.
