cmd/compile: use Block.Likely to put likely branch first
When a neither of a conditional block's successors follows, the block must end with a conditional branch followed by a an unconditional branch. If the (conditional) branch is "unlikely", invert it and swap successors to make it likely instead. This doesn't matter to most benchmarks on amd64, but in one instance on amd64 it caused a 30% improvement, and it is otherwise harmless. The problematic loop is for i := 0; i < w; i++ { if pw[i] != 0 { return true } } compiled under GOEXPERIMENT=preemptibleloops This the very worst-case benchmark for that experiment. Also in this CL is a commoning up of heavily-repeated boilerplate, which made it much easier to see that the changes were applied correctly. In the future this should allow un-exporting of SSAGenState.Branches once the boilerplate-replacement is done everywhere.
