Dim performance has regressed by 14% vs 1.9 on amd64.
Current pure go version of Dim is faster and,
what is even more important for performance, is inlinable, so
instead of tweaking asm implementation, just remove it.
I had to update BenchmarkDim, because it was simply reloading
constant(answer) in a loop.
Perf data below:
name old time/op new time/op delta
Dim-6 6.79ns ± 0% 1.60ns ± 1% -76.39% (p=0.000 n=7+10)
If I modify benchmark to be the same as in this CL results are even better:
name old time/op new time/op delta
Dim-6 10.2ns ± 0% 1.6ns ± 1% -84.27% (p=0.000 n=8+10)

By calculating dim directly, rather than calling max, we can simplify
the generated code significantly. The compiler now reports that dim
is easily inlineable, but it can't be inlined because there is still
an assembly stub for Dim.
Since dim is now very simple I no longer think it is worth having
assembly implementations of it. I have therefore removed the s390x
assembly. Removing the other assembly for Dim is #21913.
