cmd/compile, runtime: emit only GC data for stack objects
Currently, for stack objects, the compiler emits metadata that
includes the offset and type descriptor for each object. The type
descriptor symbol has many fields, and it references many other
symbols, e.g. field/element types, equality functions, names.
Observe that what we actually need at runtime is only the GC
metadata that are needed to scan the object, and the GC metadata
are "leaf" symbols (which doesn't reference other symbols). Emit
only the GC data instead. This avoids bringing live the type
descriptor as well as things referenced by it (if it is not
otherwise live).
This reduces binary sizes:

No significant change in compiler speed.
