Dmitry Vyukov c4ee44b7b9 cmd/gc: transform closure calls to function calls
Currently we always create context objects for closures that capture variables.
However, it is completely unnecessary for direct calls of closures
(whether it is func()(), defer func()() or go func()()).
This change transforms any OCALLFUNC(OCLOSURE) to normal function call.
Closed variables become function arguments.
This transformation is especially beneficial for go func(),
because we do not need to allocate context object on heap.
But it makes direct closure calls a bit faster as well (see BenchmarkClosureCall).

On implementation level it required to introduce yet another compiler pass.
However, the pass iterates only over xtop, so it should not be an issue.
Transformation consists of two parts: closure transformation and call site
transformation. We can't run these parts on different sides of escape analysis,
because tree state is inconsistent. We can do both parts during typecheck,
we don't know how to capture variables and don't have call site.
We can't do both parts during walk of OCALLFUNC, because we can walk
OCLOSURE body earlier.
So now capturevars pass only decides how to capture variables
(this info is required for escape analysis). New transformclosure
pass, that runs just before order/walk, does all transformations
of a closure. And later walk of OCALLFUNC(OCLOSURE) transforms call site.

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.
