cmd/compile: shrink gc.Type in half
Many of Type's fields are etype-specific. This CL organizes them into their own auxiliary types, duplicating a few fields as necessary, and adds an Extra field to hold them. It also sorts the remaining fields for better struct packing. It also improves documentation for most fields. This reduces the size of Type at the cost of some extra allocations. There's no CPU impact; memory impact below. It also makes the natural structure of Type clearer. Passes toolstash -cmp on all architectures. Ideas for future work in this vein: (1) Width and Align probably only need to be stored for Struct and Array types. The refactoring to accomplish this would hopefully also eliminate TFUNCARGS and TCHANARGS entirely. (2) Maplineno is sparsely used and could probably better be stored in a separate map[*Type]int32, with mapqueue updated to store both a Node and a line number. (3) The Printed field may be removable once the old (non-binary) importer/exported has been removed. (4) StructType's fields field could be changed from *[]*Field to []*Field, which would remove a common allocation. (5) I believe that Type.Nod can be moved to ForwardType.
