Robert Griesemer 33ac854481 cmd/compile: do not export float or complex constants with -asmhdr
The -asmhdr flag is used to generate header files for assembly code
such that that code has access to compile-time constants. During
the build these constants end up in the (ephemeral) file go_asm.h.

For historical reasons, floating-point and complex constants are
printed with a 'p' exponent but with decimal mantissa; also, because
of the compiler-internal precision of 512 bits, the mantissae are quite
large (and conversions are comparatively slow).

With the changes to the new Go 2 number literals, the respective
upcoming changes to text/scanner (which in turn is used by the assembler)
will make text/scanner newly accept hexadecimal floats; but also decimal
floats using the incorrect 'p' exponent and report an error in that case.

As a consequence, the assembler will report an error when trying to parse
the before-mentioned decimal floating-point values which are using 'p'
exponents. Since these constants are never needed in the assembly code,
do not emit them in the first place.
