ca4089ad62 cmd/compile: args no longer live until end-of-function
We're dropping this behavior in favor of runtime.KeepAlive.
Implement runtime.KeepAlive as an intrinsic.

Update #15843

5b9ff11c3d cmd/compile: ppc64le working, not optimized enough
This time with the cherry-pick from the proper patch of
the old CL.

Stack size increased.
Corrected NaN-comparison glitches.
Marked g register as clobbered by calls.
Fixed shared libraries.

live_ssa.go still disabled because of differences.
Presumably turning on more optimization will fix
both the stack size and the live_ssa.go glitches.

Enhanced debugging output for shared libs test.

Rebased onto master.

Updates #16010.

b6dc3e6f66 cmd/compile: fix liveness computation for heap-escaped parameters
The liveness computation of parameters generally was never
correct, but forcing all parameters to be live throughout the
function covered up that problem. The new SSA back end is
too clever: even though it currently keeps the parameter values live
throughout the function, it may find optimizations that mean
the current values are not written back to the original parameter
stack slots immediately or ever (for example if a parameter is set
to nil, SSA constant propagation may replace all later uses of the
parameter with a constant nil, eliminating the need to write the nil
value back to the stack slot), so the liveness code must now
track the actual operations on the stack slots, exposing these
problems.

One small problem in the handling of arguments is that nodarg
can return ONAME PPARAM nodes with adjusted offsets, so that
there are actually multiple *Node pointers for the same parameter
in the instruction stream. This might be possible to correct, but
not in this CL. For now, we fix this by using n.Orig instead of n
when considering PPARAM and PPARAMOUT nodes.

The major problem in the handling of arguments is general
confusion in the liveness code about the meaning of PPARAM|PHEAP
and PPARAMOUT|PHEAP nodes, especially as contrasted with PAUTO|PHEAP.
The difference between these two is that when a local variable "moves"
to the heap, it's really just allocated there to start with; in contrast,
when an argument moves to the heap, the actual data has to be copied
there from the stack at the beginning of the function, and when a
result "moves" to the heap the value in the heap has to be copied
back to the stack when the function returns
This general confusion is also present in the SSA back end.

The PHEAP bit worked decently when I first introduced it 7 years ago (!)
in 391425ae. The back end did nothing sophisticated, and in particular
there was no analysis at all: no escape analysis, no liveness analysis,
and certainly no SSA back end. But the complications caused in the
various downstream consumers suggest that this should be a detail
kept mainly in the front end.

This CL therefore eliminates both the PHEAP bit and even the idea of
"heap variables" from the back ends.

First, it replaces the PPARAM|PHEAP, PPARAMOUT|PHEAP, and PAUTO|PHEAP
variable classes with the single PAUTOHEAP, a pseudo-class indicating
a variable maintained on the heap and available by indirecting a
local variable kept on the stack (a plain PAUTO).

Second, walkexpr replaces all references to PAUTOHEAP variables
with indirections of the corresponding PAUTO variable.
The back ends and the liveness code now just see plain indirected
variables. This may actually produce better code, but the real goal
here is to eliminate these little-used and somewhat suspect code
paths in the back end analyses.

The OPARAM node type goes away too.

A followup CL will do the same to PPARAMREF. I'm not sure that
the back ends (SSA in particular) are handling those right either,
and with the framework established in this CL that change is trivial
and the result clearly more correct.

Fixes #15747.
