cmd/gc: fix escape analysis of closures

Fixes #10353

See test/escape2.go:issue10353. Previously new(int) did not escape to heap,
and so heap-allcated closure was referencing a stack var. This breaks
the invariant that heap must not contain pointers to stack.

Look at the following program:

package main

func main() {
	foo(new(int))
	bar(new(int))
}

func foo(x *int) func() {
	return func() {
		println(*x)
	}
}

// Models what foo effectively does.
func bar(x *int) *C {
	return &C{x}
}

type C struct {
	x *int
}

Without this patch escape analysis works as follows:

$ go build -gcflags="-m -m -m -l" esc.go
escflood:1: dst ~r1 scope:foo[0]
escwalk: level:0 depth:0  func literal( l(9) f(1) esc(no) ld(1)) scope:foo[1]
/tmp/live2.go:9: func literal escapes to heap
escwalk: level:0 depth:1 	 x( l(8) class(PPARAM) f(1) esc(no) ld(1)) scope:foo[1]
/tmp/live2.go:8: leaking param: x to result ~r1

escflood:2: dst ~r1 scope:bar[0]
escwalk: level:0 depth:0  &C literal( l(15) esc(no) ld(1)) scope:bar[1]
/tmp/live2.go:15: &C literal escapes to heap
escwalk: level:-1 depth:1 	 &C literal( l(15)) scope:bar[0]
escwalk: level:-1 depth:2 		 x( l(14) class(PPARAM) f(1) esc(no) ld(1)) scope:bar[1]
/tmp/live2.go:14: leaking param: x

/tmp/live2.go:5: new(int) escapes to heap
/tmp/live2.go:4: main new(int) does not escape

new(int) does not escape while being captured by the closure.
With this patch escape analysis of foo and bar works similarly:

$ go build -gcflags="-m -m -m -l" esc.go
escflood:1: dst ~r1 scope:foo[0]
escwalk: level:0 depth:0  &(func literal)( l(9)) scope:foo[0]
escwalk: level:-1 depth:1 	 func literal( l(9) f(1) esc(no) ld(1)) scope:foo[1]
/tmp/live2.go:9: func literal escapes to heap
escwalk: level:-1 depth:2 		 x( l(8) class(PPARAM) f(1) esc(no) ld(1)) scope:foo[1]
/tmp/live2.go:8: leaking param: x

escflood:2: dst ~r1 scope:bar[0]
escwalk: level:0 depth:0  &C literal( l(15) esc(no) ld(1)) scope:bar[1]
/tmp/live2.go:15: &C literal escapes to heap
escwalk: level:-1 depth:1 	 &C literal( l(15)) scope:bar[0]
escwalk: level:-1 depth:2 		 x( l(14) class(PPARAM) f(1) esc(no) ld(1)) scope:bar[1]
/tmp/live2.go:14: leaking param: x

/tmp/live2.go:4: new(int) escapes to heap
/tmp/live2.go:5: new(int) escapes to heap

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.
