David Chase cc258e6785 cmd/compile: add "deadlocals" pass to remove unused locals
This CL adds a "deadlocals" pass, which runs after inlining and before
escape analysis, to prune any unneeded local variables and
assignments. In particular, this helps avoid unnecessary Addrtaken
markings from unreachable closures.

Deadlocals is sensitive to "_ = ..." as a signal of explicit
use for testing.  This signal occurs only if the entire
left-hand-side is "_" targets; if it is
  `_, ok := someInlinedFunc(args)`
then the first return value is eligible for dead code elimination.

Use this (`_ = x`) to fix tests broken by deadlocals elimination.

Includes a test, based on one of the tests that required modification.

Matthew Dempsky wrote this, changing ownership to allow rebases, commits, tweaks.

Fixes #65158.
