1d303a0086 cmd/compile: fold offset into address on Wasm
On Wasm, the offset was not folded into LoweredAddr, so it was
not rematerializeable. This led to the address-taken operation
in some cases generated too early, before the local variable
becoming live. The liveness code thinks the variable live when
the address is taken, then backs it up to live at function
entry, then complains about it, because nothing other than
arguments should be live on entry.

This CL folds the offset into the address operation, so it is
rematerializeable and so generated right before use, after the
variable actually becomes live.

It might be possible to relax the liveness code not to think a
variable live when its address being taken, but until the address
actually being used. But it would be quite complicated. As we're
late in Go 1.11 freeze, it would be better not to do it. Also,
I think the address operation is rematerializeable now on all
architectures, so this is probably less necessary.

This may also be a slight optimization, as the address+offset is
now rematerializeable, which can be generated on the Wasm stack,
without using any "registers" which are emulated by local
variables on Wasm. I don't know how to do benchmarks on Wasm. At
least, cmd/go binary size shrinks 9K.

Fixes #25966.

482d241936 cmd/compile: add wasm stack optimization
Go's SSA instructions only operate on registers. For example, an add
instruction would read two registers, do the addition and then write
to a register. WebAssembly's instructions, on the other hand, operate
on the stack. The add instruction first pops two values from the stack,
does the addition, then pushes the result to the stack. To fulfill
Go's semantics, one needs to map Go's single add instruction to
4 WebAssembly instructions:
- Push the value of local variable A to the stack
- Push the value of local variable B to the stack
- Do addition
- Write value from stack to local variable C

Now consider that B was set to the constant 42 before the addition:
- Push constant 42 to the stack
- Write value from stack to local variable B

This works, but is inefficient. Instead, the stack is used directly
by inlining instructions if possible. With inlining it becomes:
- Push the value of local variable A to the stack (add)
- Push constant 42 to the stack (constant)
- Do addition (add)
- Write value from stack to local variable C (add)

Note that the two SSA instructions can not be generated sequentially
anymore, because their WebAssembly instructions are interleaved.
