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.
