Dave Cheney 54e8d504e8 cmd/5g: use MOVB for fixed array nil check
Fixes #4396.

For fixed arrays larger than the unmapped page, agenr would general a nil check by loading the first word of the array. However there is no requirement for the first element of a byte array to be word aligned, so this check causes a trap on ARMv5 hardware (ARMv6 since relaxed that restriction, but it probably still comes at a cost).

Switching the check to MOVB ensures alignment is not an issue. This check is only invoked in a few places in the code where large fixed arrays are embedded into structs, compress/lzw is the biggest offender, and switching to MOVB has no observable performance penalty.

Thanks to Rémy and Daniel Morsing for helping me debug this on IRC last night.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
