Matthew Dempsky 78a267e379 cmd/compile: cache pointer and slice types
Anonymous pointer and slice types are very common and identical
anyway, so just reuse them rather than allocating new ones everywhere
they appear.

Turns out to be a small code/stack size win because SSA relies on
gc.Type identity for reusing temporary stack slots:

   text	   data	    bss	    dec	    hex	filename
6453005	 231643	 146328	6830976	 683b80	go.old
6446660	 231643	 146328	6824631	 6822b7	go.new

Saves on memory usage during compile time too, and maybe a small CPU
time win, but the benchmarks are pretty noisy:

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
