cmd/compile: remove rtype.ptrToThis

Browse source 
Simplifies some code as ptrToThis was unreliable under dynamic
linking. Now the same type lookup is used regardless of execution
mode.

A synthetic relocation, R_USETYPE, is introduced to make sure the
linker includes *T on use of T, if *T is carrying methods.

Changes the heap dump format. Anything reading the format needs to
look at the last bool of a type of an interface value to determine
if the type should be the pointer-to type.

Reduces binary size of cmd/go by 0.2%.
For #6853.
