Josh Bleecher Snyder 46b88c9fbc cmd/compile: change ssa.Type into *types.Type
When package ssa was created, Type was in package gc.
To avoid circular dependencies, we used an interface (ssa.Type)
to represent type information in SSA.

In the Go 1.9 cycle, gri extricated the Type type from package gc.
As a result, we can now use it in package ssa.
Now, instead of package types depending on package ssa,
it is the other way.
This is a more sensible dependency tree,
and helps compiler performance a bit.

Though this is a big CL, most of the changes are
mechanical and uninteresting.

Interesting bits:

* Add new singleton globals to package types for the special
  SSA types Memory, Void, Invalid, Flags, and Int128.
* Add two new Types, TSSA for the special types,
  and TTUPLE, for SSA tuple types.
  ssa.MakeTuple is now types.NewTuple.
* Move type comparison result constants CMPlt, CMPeq, and CMPgt
  to package types.
* We had picked the name "types" in our rules for the handy
  list of types provided by ssa.Config. That conflicted with
  the types package name, so change it to "typ".
* Update the type comparison routine to handle tuples and special
  types inline.
* Teach gc/fmt.go how to print special types.
* We can now eliminate ElemTypes in favor of just Elem,
  and probably also some other duplicated Type methods
  designed to return ssa.Type instead of *types.Type.
* The ssa tests were using their own dummy types,
  and they were not particularly careful about types in general.
  Of necessity, this CL switches them to use *types.Type;
  it does not make them more type-accurate.
  Unfortunately, using types.Type means initializing a bit
  of the types universe.
  This is prime for refactoring and improvement.

This shrinks ssa.Value; it now fits in a smaller size class
on 64 bit systems. This doesn't have a giant impact,
though, since most Values are preallocated in a chunk.

Removing all the interface calls helps non-trivially with CPU, though.
