This CL is about getting all the right checks inserted.
A followup CL will add an optimization pass to
remove redundant checks.

Individual variables bigger than 10 MB are now
moved to the heap, as if they had escaped on
their own.
This avoids ridiculous stacks for programs that
do things like
x := [1<<30]byte{}
... use x ...
If 10 MB is too small, we can raise the limit.
Fixes#6077.

The gc compiler only gives an error about an unused label if
it has not given any errors in an earlier pass. Remove all
unused labels in this test because they don't test anything
useful and they cause gccgo to give unexpected errors.

The gc compiler only gives an error about fallthrough in a
type switch if it has not given any errors in an earlier pass.
Remove all functions in this test that use fallthrough in a
type switch because they don't test anything useful and they
cause gccgo to give unexpected errors.

Backends do not exactly expect receiving binary operators with
constant operands or use workarounds to move them to
register/stack in order to handle them.

clearfat (used to zero initialize structures) will use AX for x86 block ops. If we write to AX while calculating the dest pointer, we will fill the structure with incorrect values.
Since 64-bit arithmetic uses AX to synthesize a 64-bit register, getting an adress by indexing with 64-bit ops can clobber the register.

Deferred functions are not run by a call instruction. They are run by
the runtime editing registers to make the call start with a caller PC
returning to a
CALL deferreturn
instruction.
That instruction has always had the line number of the function's
closing brace, but that instruction's line number is irrelevant.
Stack traces show the line number of the instruction before the
return PC, because normally that's what started the call. Not so here.
The instruction before the CALL deferreturn could be almost anywhere
in the function; it's unrelated and its line number is incorrect to show.
Fix the line number by inserting a true hardware no-op with the right
line number before the returned-to CALL instruction. That is, the deferred
calls now appear to start with a caller PC returning to the second instruction
in this sequence:
NOP
CALL deferreturn
The traceback will show the line number of the NOP, which we've set
to be the line number of the function's closing brace.
The NOP here is not the usual pseudo-instruction, which would be
elided by the linker. Instead it is the real hardware instruction:
XCHG AX, AX on 386 and amd64, and AND.EQ R0, R0, R0 on ARM.

Escape analysis needs the right curfn value on a dclfunc node, otherwise it will not analyze the function.
When generating method value wrappers, we forgot to set the curfn correctly.

A struct with a single field was considered as equivalent to the
field type, which is incorrect is the field is blank.
Fields with padding could make the compiler think some
types are comparable when they are not.

fn can clearly hold a closure in memory.
argp/pc point into stack and so can hold

Functions without bodies were excluded from the ordering logic,
because when I wrote the ordering logic there was no reason to
analyze them.
But then we added //go:noescape tags that need analysis, and we
didn't update the ordering logic.
So in the absence of good ordering, //go:noescape only worked
if it appeared before the use in the source code.
Fixes#5773.

The existing compilers convert empty strings to empty
but non-nil byte and rune slices. The spec required
a nil byte and rune slice in those cases. That seems
an odd additional requirement. Adjust the spec to
match the reality.
Also, removed over-specification for conversions of
nil []byte and []rune: such nil slices already act
like empty slices and thus don't need extra language.
Added extra examples instead.
Fixes#5704.

This avoids problems with inlining in genwrappers, which
occurs after functions have been compiled. Compiling a
function may cause some unused local vars to be removed from
the list. Since a local var may be unused due to
optimization, it is possible that a removed local var winds up
beingused in the inlined version, in which case hilarity
ensues.
Fixes#5515.
