cmd/compile: mark empty block preemptible

Currently, a block's control instruction gets the liveness info
of the last Value in the block. However, for an empty block, the
control instruction gets the invalid liveness info and therefore
not preemptible. One example is empty infinite loop, which has
only a control instruction. The control instruction being non-
preemptible makes the whole loop non-preemptible.

Fix this by using a different, preemptible liveness info for
empty block's control. We can choose an arbitrary preemptible
liveness info, as at run time we don't really use the liveness
map at that instruction.

As before, if the last Value in the block is non-preemptible, so
is the block control. For example, the conditional branch in the
write barrier test block is still non-preemptible.

Also, only update liveness info if we are actually emitting
instructions. So zero-width Values' liveness info (which are
always invalid) won't affect the block control's liveness info.
For example, if the last Values in a block is a tuple-generating
operation and a Select, the block control instruction is still
preemptible.

Fixes #35923.
