Keith Randall 56e0ecc5ea cmd/compile: keep value use counts in SSA
Keep track of how many uses each Value has.  Each appearance in
Value.Args and in Block.Control counts once.

The number of uses of a value is generically useful to
constrain rewrite rules.  For instance, we might want to
prevent merging index operations into loads if the same
index expression is used lots of times.

But I have one use in particular for which the use count is required.
We must make sure we don't combine ops with loads if the load has
more than one use.  Otherwise, we may split a single load
into multiple loads and that breaks perceived behavior in
the presence of races.  In particular, the load of m.state
in sync/mutex.go:Lock can't be done twice.  (I have a separate
CL which triggers the mutex failure.  This CL has a test which
demonstrates a similar failure.)
