cmd/compile: change phi location to be optimistic at backedges

This is:

(1) a simple trick that cuts the number of phi-nodes
(temporarily) inserted into the ssa representation by a factor
of 10, and can cut the user time to compile tricky inputs like
gogo/protobuf tests from 13 user minutes to 9.5, and memory
allocation from 3.4GB to 2.4GB.

(2) a fix to sparse lookup, that does not rely on
an assumption proven false by at least one pathological
input "etldlen".

These two changes fix unrelated compiler performance bugs,
both necessary to obtain good performance compiling etldlen.
Without them it takes 20 minutes or longer, with them it
completes in 2 minutes, without a gigantic memory footprint.

Updates #16407

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

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

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

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 file). 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-source.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 https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
