cmd/compile: do more type conversion inline

The code to do the conversion is smaller than the
call to the runtime.
The 1-result asserts need to call panic if they fail, but that
code is out of line.

The only conversions left in the runtime are those which
might allocate and those which might need to generate an itab.

Given the following types:
  type E interface{}
  type I interface { foo() }
  type I2 iterface { foo(); bar() }
  type Big [10]int
  func (b Big) foo() { ... }

This CL inlines the following conversions:

was assertE2T
  var e E = ...
  b := i.(Big)
was assertE2T2
  var e E = ...
  b, ok := i.(Big)
was assertI2T
  var i I = ...
  b := i.(Big)
was assertI2T2
  var i I = ...
  b, ok := i.(Big)
was assertI2E
  var i I = ...
  e := i.(E)
was assertI2E2
  var i I = ...
  e, ok := i.(E)

These are the remaining runtime calls:

convT2E:
  var b Big = ...
  var e E = b
convT2I:
  var b Big = ...
  var i I = b
convI2I:
  var i2 I2 = ...
  var i I = i2
assertE2I:
  var e E = ...
  i := e.(I)
assertE2I2:
  var e E = ...
  i, ok := e.(I)
assertI2I:
  var i I = ...
  i2 := i.(I2)
assertI2I2:
  var i I = ...
  i2, ok := i.(I2)

Fixes #17405
Fixes #8422

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

For documentation about how to install and use Go, visit https://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html in your web browser.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Note that we do not accept pull requests and that we use the issue tracker for bug reports and proposals only. Please ask questions on https://forum.golangbridge.org or https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/golang-nuts.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.


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.
