cmd/compile, runtime: track argument stack slot liveness

Currently, for stack traces (e.g. at panic or when runtime.Stack
is called), we print argument values from the stack. With register
ABI, we may never store the argument to stack therefore the
argument value on stack may be meaningless. This causes confusion.

This CL makes the compiler keep trace of which argument stack
slots are meaningful. If it is meaningful, it will be printed in
stack traces as before. If it may not be meaningful, it will be
printed as the stack value with a question mark ("?"). In general,
the value could be meaningful on some code paths but not others
depending on the execution, and the compiler couldn't know
statically, so we still print the stack value, instead of not
printing it at all. Also note that if the argument variable is
updated in the function body the printed value may be stale (like
before register ABI) but still considered meaningful.

Arguments passed on stack are always meaningful therefore always
printed without a question mark. Results are never printed, as
before.

(Due to a bug in the compiler we sometimes don't spill args into
their dedicated spill slots (as we should), causing it having
fewer meaningful values than it should be.)

This increases binary sizes a bit:
            old       new
hello      1129760   1142080  +1.09%
cmd/go    13932320  14088016  +1.12%
cmd/link   6267696   6329168  +0.98%

Fixes #45728.
