cmd/compile: disable various write barrier optimizations

Several of our current write barrier elision optimizations are invalid
with the hybrid barrier. Eliding the hybrid barrier requires that
*both* the current and new pointer be already shaded and, since we
don't have the flow analysis to figure out anything about the slot's
current value, for now we have to just disable several of these
optimizations.

This has a slight impact on binary size. On linux/amd64, the go tool
binary increases by 0.7% and the compile binary increases by 1.5%.

It also has a slight impact on performance, as one would expect. We'll
win some of this back in subsequent commits.

The Go Programming Language

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

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!

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.
