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.

Now that we no longer generate dead code,
it is possible to follow block predecessors
into infinite loops with no variable definitions,
causing an infinite loop during phi insertion.
To fix that, check explicitly whether the predecessor
is dead in lookupVarOutgoing, and if so, bail.
The loop in lookupVarOutgoing is very hot code,
so I am wary of adding anything to it.
However, a long, CPU-only benchmarking run shows no
performance impact at all.

Simple phi insertion already had a heuristic to check
for dead blocks, namely having no predecessors.
When we stopped generating code for dead blocks,
we eliminated some values contained in more subtle
dead blocks, which confused phi insertion.
Compensate by beefing up the reachability check.

XPos is a compact (8 instead of 16 bytes on a 64bit machine) source
position representation. There is a 1:1 correspondence between each
XPos and each regular Pos, translated via a global table.
In some sense this brings back the LineHist, though positions can
track line and column information; there is a O(1) translation
between the representations (no binary search), and the translation
is factored out.

Should be more asymptotically happy.
We process each variable in turn to find all the
locations where it needs a phi (the dominance frontier
of all of its definitions). Then we add all those phis.
This takes O(n * #variables), although hopefully much less.
Then we do a single tree walk to match all the
FwdRefs with the nearest definition or phi.
This takes O(n) time.
The one remaining inefficiency is that we might end up
introducing a bunch of dead phis in the first step.
A TODO is to introduce phis only where they might be
used by a read.
The old algorithm is still faster on small functions,
so there's a cutover size (currently 500 blocks).
This algorithm supercedes the David's sparse phi
placement algorithm for large functions.
