khr a51e4cc9ce cmd/compile: zero return parameters earlier
Move the zeroing of results earlier.  In particular, they need to
come before any move-to-heap operations, as those require allocation.
Those allocations are points at which the GC can see the uninitialized
result slots.

For the function:

func f() (x, y, z *int) {
  defer(){}()
  escape(&y)
  return
}

We used to generate code like this:

x = nil
y = nil
&y = new(int)
z = nil

Now we will generate:

x = nil
y = nil
z = nil
&y = new(int)

Since the fix for #18860, the return slots are always live if there
is a defer, so the former ordering allowed the GC to see junk
in the z slot.

Fixes #19078
