Heschi Kreinick 6bbe1bc940 cmd/compile: cover control flow insns in location lists
The information that's used to generate DWARF location lists is very
ssa.Value centric; it uses Values as start and end coordinates to define
ranges. That mostly works fine, but control flow instructions don't come
from Values, so the ranges couldn't cover them.

Control flow instructions are generated when the SSA representation is
converted to assembly, so that's the best place to extend the ranges
to cover them. (Before that, there's nothing to refer to, and afterward
the boundaries between blocks have been lost.) That requires block
information in the debugInfo type, which then flows down to make
everything else awkward. On the plus side, there's a little less copying
slices around than there used to be, so it should be a little faster.

Previously, the ranges for empty blocks were not very meaningful. That
was fine, because they had no Values to cover, so no debug information
was generated for them. But they do have control flow instructions
(that's why they exist) and so now it's important that the information
be correct. Introduce two sentinel values, BlockStart and BlockEnd, that
denote the boundary of a block, even if the block is empty. BlockEnd
replaces the previous SurvivedBlock flag.

There's one more problem: the last instruction in the function will be a
control flow instruction, so any live ranges need to be extended past
it. But there's no instruction after it to use as the end of the range.
Instead, leave the EndProg field of those ranges as nil and fix it up to
point to past the end of the assembled text at the very last moment.
