cmd/compile,runtime: allocate defer records on the stack

When a defer is executed at most once in a function body,
we can allocate the defer record for it on the stack instead
of on the heap.

This should make defers like this (which are very common) faster.

This optimization applies to 363 out of the 370 static defer sites
in the cmd/go binary.

name     old time/op  new time/op  delta
Defer-4  52.2ns ± 5%  36.2ns ± 3%  -30.70%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)

Fixes #6980
Update #14939
