Russ Cox 7910cd68b5 cmd/gc: zero pointers on entry to function
On entry to a function, zero the results and zero the pointer
section of the local variables.

This is an intermediate step on the way to precise collection
of Go frames.

This can incur a significant (up to 30%) slowdown, but it also ensures
that the garbage collector never looks at a word in a Go frame
and sees a stale pointer value that could cause a space leak.
(C frames and assembly frames are still possibly problematic.)

This CL is required to start making collection of interface values
as precise as collection of pointer values are today.
Since we have to dereference the interface type to understand
whether the value is a pointer, it is critical that the type field be
initialized.

A future CL by Carl will make the garbage collection pointer
bitmaps context-sensitive. At that point it will be possible to
remove most of the zeroing. The only values that will still need
zeroing are values whose addresses escape the block scoping
of the function but do not escape to the heap.
