Josh Bleecher Snyder 7eab9506c9 cmd/compile: improve equality algs for arrays of interfaces
type T [8]interface{}

Prior to this change, we generated this equality algorithm for T:

func eqT(p, q *T) bool {
    for i := range *p {
        if p[i] != q[i] {
            return false
        }
    }
    return true
}

This change splits this into two loops, so that we can do the
cheap (type) half early and only then do the expensive (data) half.

We now generate:

func eqT(p, q *T) (r bool) {
    for i := range *p {
        if p[i].type == q[i].type {
        } else {
            return
        }
    }
    for j := range *p {
        if runtime.efaceeq(p[j].type, p[j].data, q[j].data) {
        } else {
            return
        }
    }
    return true
}

The use of a named return value and a bare return is to work
around some typechecking problems that stymied me.

The structure of using equals and else (instead of not equals and then)
was for implementation convenience and clarity. As a bonus,
it generates slightly shorter code on AMD64, because zeroing a register
to return is cheaper than writing $1 to it.

The generated code is typically ~17% larger because it contains
two loops instead of one. In the future, we might want to unroll
the first loop when the array is small.
