cmd/compile: evaluate config as needed in rewrite rules

Prior to this CL, config was an explicit argument
to the SSA rewrite rules, and rules that needed
a Frontend got at it via config.
An upcoming CL moves Frontend from Config to Func,
so rules can no longer reach Frontend via Config.
Passing a Frontend as an argument to the rewrite rules
causes a 2-3% regression in compile times.
This CL takes a different approach:
It treats the variable names "config" and "fe"
as special and calculates them as needed.
The "as needed part" is also important to performance:
If they are calculated eagerly, the nilchecks themselves
cause a regression.

This introduces a little bit of magic into the rewrite
generator. However, from the perspective of the rules,
the config variable was already more or less magic.
And it makes the upcoming changes much clearer.

Passes toolstash -cmp.
