Josh Bleecher Snyder f03c9202c4 cmd/gc: optimize memclr of slices and arrays
Recognize loops of the form

for i := range a {
	a[i] = zero
}

in which the evaluation of a is free from side effects.
Replace these loops with calls to memclr.
This occurs in the stdlib in 18 places.

The motivating example is clearing a byte slice:

benchmark                old ns/op     new ns/op     delta
BenchmarkGoMemclr5       3.31          3.26          -1.51%
BenchmarkGoMemclr16      13.7          3.28          -76.06%
BenchmarkGoMemclr64      50.8          4.14          -91.85%
BenchmarkGoMemclr256     157           6.02          -96.17%

Update #5373.
