cmd/compile: optimize math/bits Len32 intrinsic on arm64

Arm64 has a 32-bit CLZ instruction CLZW, which can be used for intrinsic Len32.
Function LeadingZeros32 calls Len32, with this change, the assembly code of
LeadingZeros32 becomes more concise.

Go code:

func f32(x uint32) { z = bits.LeadingZeros32(x) }

Before:

"".f32 STEXT size=32 args=0x8 locals=0x0 leaf
        0x0000 00000 (test.go:7)        TEXT    "".f32(SB), LEAF|NOFRAME|ABIInternal, $0-8
        0x0004 00004 (test.go:7)        MOVWU   "".x(FP), R0
        0x0008 00008 ($GOROOT/src/math/bits/bits.go:30) CLZ     R0, R0
        0x000c 00012 ($GOROOT/src/math/bits/bits.go:30) SUB     $32, R0, R0
        0x0010 00016 (test.go:7)        MOVD    R0, "".z(SB)
        0x001c 00028 (test.go:7)        RET     (R30)

After:

"".f32 STEXT size=32 args=0x8 locals=0x0 leaf
        0x0000 00000 (test.go:7)        TEXT    "".f32(SB), LEAF|NOFRAME|ABIInternal, $0-8
        0x0004 00004 (test.go:7)        MOVWU   "".x(FP), R0
        0x0008 00008 ($GOROOT/src/math/bits/bits.go:30) CLZW    R0, R0
        0x000c 00012 (test.go:7)        MOVD    R0, "".z(SB)
        0x0018 00024 (test.go:7)        RET     (R30)
