Josh Bleecher Snyder d9a50a6531 cmd/compile: use prove pass to detect Ctz of non-zero values
On amd64, Ctz must include special handling of zeros.
But the prove pass has enough information to detect whether the input
is non-zero, allowing a more efficient lowering.

Introduce new CtzNonZero ops to capture and use this information.

Benchmark code:

func BenchmarkVisitBits(b *testing.B) {
	b.Run("8", func(b *testing.B) {
		for i := 0; i < b.N; i++ {
			x := uint8(0xff)
			for x != 0 {
				sink = bits.TrailingZeros8(x)
				x &= x - 1
			}
		}
	})

    // and similarly so for 16, 32, 64
}

name            old time/op  new time/op  delta
VisitBits/8-8   7.27ns ± 4%  5.58ns ± 4%  -23.35%  (p=0.000 n=28+26)
VisitBits/16-8  14.7ns ± 7%  10.5ns ± 4%  -28.43%  (p=0.000 n=30+28)
VisitBits/32-8  27.6ns ± 8%  19.3ns ± 3%  -30.14%  (p=0.000 n=30+26)
VisitBits/64-8  44.0ns ±11%  38.0ns ± 5%  -13.48%  (p=0.000 n=30+30)

Fixes #25077
