[dev.ssa] cmd/compile: better ANDAND and OROR in IF and FOR

For the statement

    if a && b { target }

the old code allocated a new variable v and did:

    v = a
    if a {
       v = b
    }
    if v { goto target }

The new code does:

    if a {
      if b { goto target }
    }

The new arrangement tends to generate much more efficient code.  In
particular, there is no temporary variable and there is only one join
point instead of two.

The old code is still used for ANDAND and OROR which are not
direct descendents of IF or FOR statements.
