When the compiler insert write barriers, the frontend makes
conservative decisions at an early stage. This sometimes have
false positives because of the lack of information, for example,
writes on stack. SSA's writebarrier pass identifies writes on
stack and eliminates write barriers for them.
This CL moves write barrier insertion into SSA. The frontend no
longer makes decisions about write barriers, and simply does
normal assignments and emits normal Store ops when building SSA.
SSA writebarrier pass inserts write barrier for Stores when needed.
There, it has better information about the store because Phi and
Copy propagation are done at that time.
This CL only changes StoreWB to Store in gc/ssa.go. A followup CL
simplifies SSA building code.
Updates #17583.

In writebarrier phase, a chain of StoreWBs is rewritten to branchy
code to invoke write barriers, and the last store in the chain is
spliced into a Phi op to join the memory of the two branches. We
must find the last store explicitly, since the values are not
scheduled and they may not come in dependency order.
Fixes#18169.
