As in the elimination of PHEAP|PPARAM in CL 23393,
this is something the front end can trivially take care of
and then not bother the back ends with.
It also eliminates some suspect (and only lightly exercised)
code paths in the back ends.
I don't have a smoking gun for this one but it seems
more clearly correct.

The liveness computation of parameters generally was never
correct, but forcing all parameters to be live throughout the
function covered up that problem. The new SSA back end is
too clever: even though it currently keeps the parameter values live
throughout the function, it may find optimizations that mean
the current values are not written back to the original parameter
stack slots immediately or ever (for example if a parameter is set
to nil, SSA constant propagation may replace all later uses of the
parameter with a constant nil, eliminating the need to write the nil
value back to the stack slot), so the liveness code must now
track the actual operations on the stack slots, exposing these
problems.
One small problem in the handling of arguments is that nodarg
can return ONAME PPARAM nodes with adjusted offsets, so that
there are actually multiple *Node pointers for the same parameter
in the instruction stream. This might be possible to correct, but
not in this CL. For now, we fix this by using n.Orig instead of n
when considering PPARAM and PPARAMOUT nodes.
The major problem in the handling of arguments is general
confusion in the liveness code about the meaning of PPARAM|PHEAP
and PPARAMOUT|PHEAP nodes, especially as contrasted with PAUTO|PHEAP.
The difference between these two is that when a local variable "moves"
to the heap, it's really just allocated there to start with; in contrast,
when an argument moves to the heap, the actual data has to be copied
there from the stack at the beginning of the function, and when a
result "moves" to the heap the value in the heap has to be copied
back to the stack when the function returns
This general confusion is also present in the SSA back end.
The PHEAP bit worked decently when I first introduced it 7 years ago (!)
in 391425ae. The back end did nothing sophisticated, and in particular
there was no analysis at all: no escape analysis, no liveness analysis,
and certainly no SSA back end. But the complications caused in the
various downstream consumers suggest that this should be a detail
kept mainly in the front end.
This CL therefore eliminates both the PHEAP bit and even the idea of
"heap variables" from the back ends.
First, it replaces the PPARAM|PHEAP, PPARAMOUT|PHEAP, and PAUTO|PHEAP
variable classes with the single PAUTOHEAP, a pseudo-class indicating
a variable maintained on the heap and available by indirecting a
local variable kept on the stack (a plain PAUTO).
Second, walkexpr replaces all references to PAUTOHEAP variables
with indirections of the corresponding PAUTO variable.
The back ends and the liveness code now just see plain indirected
variables. This may actually produce better code, but the real goal
here is to eliminate these little-used and somewhat suspect code
paths in the back end analyses.
The OPARAM node type goes away too.
A followup CL will do the same to PPARAMREF. I'm not sure that
the back ends (SSA in particular) are handling those right either,
and with the framework established in this CL that change is trivial
and the result clearly more correct.

We used to use:

Now we do:
var tmp [3]*int
tmp[0] = x

Doesn't sound like a big deal, but the compiler has trouble
eliminating write barriers when using the former method because it
doesn't know that the slice points to the stack. In the latter
method, the compiler knows the array is on the stack and as a result
doesn't emit any write barriers.
This turns out to be extremely common when building ... args, like
for calls fmt.Printf.
Makes go binaries ~1% smaller.
Doesn't have a measurable effect on the go1 fmt benchmarks,
unfortunately.

1.5.3 so that mere capture of a value did not also capture
the variable, which thus allowed closures to escape, as well
as this case where the escape was spurious. In

1.5.3 would reject g, but not f. 1.4 rejects both because

Escape analysis has a hard time with tree-like
structures (see #13493 and #14858).
This is unlikely to change.
As a result, when invoking a function that accepts
a **Node parameter, we usually allocate a *Node
on the heap. This happens a whole lot.
This CL changes functions from taking a **Node
to acting more like append: It both modifies
the input and returns a replacement for it.
Because of the cascading nature of escape analysis,
in order to get the benefits, I had to modify
almost all such functions. The remaining functions
are in racewalk and the backend. I would be happy

The Node type ODOT and its variants all represent a selector, with a
simple name to the right of the dot. Before this change this was
represented by using an ONAME Node in the Right field. This ONAME node
served no useful purpose. This CL changes these Node types to store the
symbol in the Sym field instead, thus not requiring allocating a Node
for each selector.
When compiling x/tools/go/types this CL eliminates nearly 5000 calls to
newname and reduces the total number of Nodes allocated by about 6.6%.
It seems to cut compilation time by 1 to 2 percent.
Getting this right was somewhat subtle, and I added two dubious changes
to produce the exact same output as before. One is to ishairy in
inl.go: the ONAME node increased the cost of ODOT and friends by 1, and
I retained that, although really ODOT is not more expensive than any
other node. The other is to varexpr in walk.go: because the ONAME in
the Right field of an ODOT has no class, varexpr would always return
false for an ODOT, although in fact for some ODOT's it seemingly ought
to return true; I added an && false for now. I will send separate CLs,
that will break toolstash -cmp, to clean these up.
