[dev.link] cmd/compile: pass index through when re-exporting
When we re-export an imported symbol that has an index, we should pass the index through. Currently, if the symbol is not referenced in the generated machine code, it does not get assigned a package index, and the exporter will not export its symbol index. Let the exporter handle this case -- if the symbol has a symbol index but not a package index, still export its symbol index. This is safe as referenced-by-name symbols always have their package indices set to a special value. This should reduce the number of referenced-by-name symbols, and also make the export data more stable, less dependent on codegen details.
