cmd/compile,runtime: redo how map assignments work
To compile:
m[k] = v
instead of:
mapassign(maptype, m, &k, &v), do
do:
*mapassign(maptype, m, &k) = v
mapassign returns a pointer to the value slot in the map. It is just
like mapaccess except that it will allocate a new slot if k is not
already present in the map.
This makes map accesses faster but potentially larger (codewise).
It is faster because the write into the map is done when the compiler
knows the concrete type, so it can be done with a few store
instructions instead of calling typedmemmove. We also potentially
avoid stack temporaries to hold v.
The code can be larger when the map has pointers in its value type,
since there is a write barrier call in addition to the mapassign call.
That makes the code at the callsite a bit bigger (go binary is 0.3%
bigger).
This CL is in preparation for doing operations like m[k] += v with
only a single runtime call. That will roughly double the speed of
such operations.
