Keith Randall fb05948d9e cmd/compile,math: improve code generation for math.Abs
Implement int reg <-> fp reg moves on amd64.
If we see a load to int reg followed by an int->fp move, then we can just
load to the fp reg instead.  Same for stores.

math.Abs is now:

MOVQ	"".x+8(SP), AX
SHLQ	$1, AX
SHRQ	$1, AX
MOVQ	AX, "".~r1+16(SP)

math.Copysign is now:

MOVQ	"".x+8(SP), AX
SHLQ	$1, AX
SHRQ	$1, AX
MOVQ	"".y+16(SP), CX
SHRQ	$63, CX
SHLQ	$63, CX
ORQ	CX, AX
MOVQ	AX, "".~r2+24(SP)

math.Float64bits is now:

MOVSD	"".x+8(SP), X0
MOVSD	X0, "".~r1+16(SP)
(it would be nicer to use a non-SSE reg for this, nothing is perfect)

And due to the fix for #21440, the inlined version of these improve as well.

name      old time/op  new time/op  delta
Abs       1.38ns ± 5%  0.89ns ±10%  -35.54%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)
Copysign  1.56ns ± 7%  1.35ns ± 6%  -13.77%  (p=0.000 n=9+10)

Fixes #13095
