Russ Cox de96df1b02 cmd/6g: change sbop swap logic
I added the nl->op == OLITERAL case during the recent
performance round, and while it helps for small integer constants,
it hurts for floating point constants.  In the Mandelbrot benchmark
it causes 2*Zr*Zi to compile like Zr*2*Zi:

        0x000000000042663d <+249>:	movsd  %xmm6,%xmm0
        0x0000000000426641 <+253>:	movsd  $2,%xmm1
        0x000000000042664a <+262>:	mulsd  %xmm1,%xmm0
        0x000000000042664e <+266>:	mulsd  %xmm5,%xmm0

instead of:

        0x0000000000426835 <+276>:	movsd  $2,%xmm0
        0x000000000042683e <+285>:	mulsd  %xmm6,%xmm0
        0x0000000000426842 <+289>:	mulsd  %xmm5,%xmm0

It is unclear why that has such a dramatic performance effect
in a tight loop, but it's obviously slightly better code, so go with it.

README

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install.html in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install.html.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed
under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

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 README).  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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
