philhofer 295307ae78 cmd/compile: de-virtualize interface calls
With this change, code like

    h := sha1.New()
    h.Write(buf)
    sum := h.Sum()

gets compiled into static calls rather than
interface calls, because the compiler is able
to prove that 'h' is really a *sha1.digest.

The InterCall re-write rule hits a few dozen times
during make.bash, and hundreds of times during all.bash.

The most common pattern identified by the compiler
is a constructor like

    func New() Interface { return &impl{...} }

where the constructor gets inlined into the caller,
and the result is used immediately. Examples include
{sha1,md5,crc32,crc64,...}.New, base64.NewEncoder,
base64.NewDecoder, errors.New, net.Pipe, and so on.

Some existing benchmarks that change on darwin/amd64:

Crc64/ISO4KB-8        2.67µs ± 1%    2.66µs ± 0%  -0.36%  (p=0.015 n=10+10)
Crc64/ISO1KB-8         694ns ± 0%     690ns ± 1%  -0.59%  (p=0.001 n=10+10)
Adler32KB-8            473ns ± 1%     471ns ± 0%  -0.39%  (p=0.010 n=10+9)

On architectures like amd64, the reduction in code size
appears to contribute more to benchmark improvements than just
removing the indirect call, since that branch gets predicted
accurately when called in a loop.

Updates #19361
