cmd/compile: add saturating conversions on wasm

This change adds the GOWASM option "satconv" to enable the generation
of experimental saturating (non-trapping) float-to-int conversions.
It improves the performance of the conversion by 42%.

Previously the conversions had already been augmented with helper
functions to have saturating behavior. Now Wasm.rules is always using
the new operation names and wasm/ssa.go is falling back to the helpers
if the feature is not enabled.

The feature is in phase 4 of the WebAssembly proposal process:
https://github.com/WebAssembly/meetings/blob/master/process/phases.md

More information on the feature can be found at:
