cmd/gc: ignore re-slicing in escape analysis

Escape analysis treats everything assigned to OIND/ODOTPTR as escaping.
As the result b escapes in the following code:

	func (b *Buffer) Foo() {
		n, m := ...
		b.buf = b.buf[n:m]
	}

This change recognizes such assignments and ignores them.

Update issue #9043.
Update issue #7921.

There are two similar cases in std lib that benefit from this optimization.
First is in archive/zip:

type readBuf []byte
func (b *readBuf) uint32() uint32 {
	v := binary.LittleEndian.Uint32(*b)
	*b = (*b)[4:]
	return v
}

Second is in time:

type data struct {
	p     []byte
	error bool
}

func (d *data) read(n int) []byte {
	if len(d.p) < n {
		d.p = nil
		d.error = true
		return nil
	}
	p := d.p[0:n]
	d.p = d.p[n:]
	return p
}

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.
