cmd/internal/gc: separate func-only Node fields

Nodes dominate gc's memory usage, but many fields are only used
for a subset of kinds of nodes. This change pulls out fields
used only for func-like Nodes. This reduces the size of the
Node struct on a 64-bit machine from 504 bytes to 416 bytes (-17%).

Compiling the runtime, 1.5% of nodes have a non-nil Func.
In html/template, 2.7% of nodes have a non-nil Func.

This change introduces an extra alloc and associated GC overhead
when Func is non-nil. However, when Func is nil, as it almost
always is, it spares the garbage collector scanning some Node fields.
Empirically, this change appears to be roughly neutral with regard to GC.

To keep the diff readable, this CL uses an embedded Func field.
A subsequent CL will unembed the field.

Passes toolstash -cmp.

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.
