Heschi Kreinick 2075a9323d cmd/compile: reimplement location list generation
Completely redesign and reimplement location list generation to be more
efficient, and hopefully not too hard to understand.

RegKills are gone. Instead of using the regalloc's liveness
calculations, redo them using the Ops' clobber information. Besides
saving a lot of Values, this avoids adding RegKills to blocks that would
be empty otherwise, which was messing up optimizations. This does mean
that it's much harder to tell whether the generation process is buggy
(there's nothing to cross-check it with), and there may be disagreements
with GC liveness. But the performance gain is significant, and it's nice
not to be messing with earlier compiler phases.

The intermediate representations are gone. Instead of producing
ssa.BlockDebugs, then dwarf.LocationLists, and then finally real
location lists, go directly from the SSA to a (mostly) real location
list. Because the SSA analysis happens before assembly, it stores
encoded block/value IDs where PCs would normally go. It would be easier
to do the SSA analysis after assembly, but I didn't want to retain the
SSA just for that.

Generation proceeds in two phases: first, it traverses the function in
CFG order, storing the state of the block at the beginning and end. End
states are used to produce the start states of the successor blocks. In
the second phase, it traverses in program text order and produces the
location lists. The processing in the second phase is redundant, but
much cheaper than storing the intermediate representation. It might be
possible to combine the two phases somewhat to take advantage of cases
where the CFG matches the block layout, but I haven't tried.

Location lists are finalized by adding a base address selection entry,
translating each encoded block/value ID to a real PC, and adding the
terminating zero entry. This probably won't work on OSX, where dsymutil
will choke on the base address selection. I tried emitting CU-relative
relocations for each address, and it was *very* bad for performance --
it uses more memory storing all the relocations than it does for the
actual location list bytes. I think I'm going to end up synthesizing the
relocations in the linker only on OSX, but TBD.

TestNexting needs updating: with more optimizations working, the
debugger doesn't stop on the continue (line 88) any more, and the test's
duplicate suppression kicks in. Also, dx and dy live a little longer
now, but they have the correct values.
