Keith Randall 934c359964 cmd/compile: reorder how slicelit initializes a slice
func f(x, y, z *int) {
    a := []*int{x,y,z}
    ...
  }

We used to use:
  var tmp [3]*int
  a := tmp[:]
  a[0] = x
  a[1] = y
  a[2] = z

Now we do:
  var tmp [3]*int
  tmp[0] = x
  tmp[1] = y
  tmp[2] = z
  a := tmp[:]

Doesn't sound like a big deal, but the compiler has trouble
eliminating write barriers when using the former method because it
doesn't know that the slice points to the stack.  In the latter
method, the compiler knows the array is on the stack and as a result
doesn't emit any write barriers.

This turns out to be extremely common when building ... args, like
for calls fmt.Printf.

Makes go binaries ~1% smaller.

Doesn't have a measurable effect on the go1 fmt benchmarks,
unfortunately.

Fixes #14263
Update #6853

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.
