cmd/compile: enable deadcode of unreferenced large global maps

This patch changes the compiler's pkg init machinery to pick out large
initialization assignments to global maps (e.g.

   var mymap = map[string]int{"foo":1, "bar":2, ... }

and extract the map init code into a separate outlined function, which is
then called from the main init function with a weak relocation:

   var mymap map[string]int   // KEEP reloc -> map.init.0

   func init() {
      map.init.0() // weak relocation
   }

   func map.init.0() {
     mymap = map[string]int{"foo":1, "bar":2}
   }

The map init outlining is done selectively (only in the case where the
RHS code exceeds a size limit of 20 IR nodes).

In order to ensure that a given map.init.NNN function is included when
its corresponding map is live, we add dummy R_KEEP relocation from the
map variable to the map init function.

This first patch includes the main compiler compiler changes, and with
the weak relocation addition disabled. Subsequent patch includes the
requred linker changes along with switching to the call to the
outlined routine to a weak relocation. See the later linker change for
associated compile time performance numbers.

Updates #2559.
Updates #36021.
Updates #14840.
