runtime, cmd/compile: re-order PCDATA and FUNCDATA indices

The pclntab encoding supports writing only some PCDATA and FUNCDATA values.
However, the encoding is dense: The max index in use determines the space used.
We should thus choose a numbering in which frequently used indices are smaller.

This change re-orders the PCDATA and FUNCDATA indices using that principle,
using a quick and dirty instrumentation to measure index frequency.

It shrinks binaries by about 0.5%.
