Josh Bleecher Snyder 77a2113925 cmd/gc: evaluate concrete == interface without allocating
Consider an interface value i of type I and concrete value c of type C.

Prior to this CL, i==c was evaluated as
	I(c) == i

Evaluating I(c) can allocate.

This CL changes the evaluation of i==c to
	x, ok := i.(C); ok && x == c

The new generated code is shorter and does not allocate directly.

If C is small, as it is in every instance in the stdlib,
the new code also uses less stack space
and makes one runtime call instead of two.

If C is very large, the original implementation is used.
The cutoff for "very large" is 1<<16,
following the stack vs heap cutoff used elsewhere.

This kind of comparison occurs in 38 places in the stdlib,
mostly in the net and os packages.

Fixes #9370.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
