The exclusion of string from IsScanValue prevents driver authors from
writing their drivers in such a way that would allow users to
distinguish between strings and byte arrays returned from a database.
Such drivers are possible today, but require their authors to deviate
from the guidance provided by the standard library.

This exclusion has been in place since the birth of this package in
https://github.com/golang/go/commit/357f2cb1a385f4d1418e48856f9abe0cce,
but the fakedb implementation shipped in the same commit violates the
exclusion!

Strictly speaking this is a breaking change, but it increases the set
of permissible Scan types, and should not cause breakage in practice.

No test changes are necessary because fakedb already exercises this.

Fixes #6497.

Escape analysis has a hard time with tree-like
structures (see #13493 and #14858).
This is unlikely to change.
As a result, when invoking a function that accepts
a **Node parameter, we usually allocate a *Node
on the heap. This happens a whole lot.

This CL changes functions from taking a **Node
to acting more like append: It both modifies
the input and returns a replacement for it.

Because of the cascading nature of escape analysis,
in order to get the benefits, I had to modify
almost all such functions. The remaining functions
are in racewalk and the backend. I would be happy
to update them as well in a separate CL.

This CL was created by manually updating the
function signatures and the directly impacted
bits of code. The callsites were then automatically
updated using a bespoke script:
https://gist.github.com/josharian/046b1be7aceae244de39

For ease of reviewing and future understanding,
this CL is also broken down into four CLs,
mailed separately, which show the manual
and the automated changes separately.
They are CLs 20990, 20991, 20992, and 20993.

There is a special case for slicing s[i:j] when the resulting
slice has zero capacity, to prevent pointing to the next object
in memory.

Change this special case code from:
  rptr := rcap == 0 ? ptr : ptr+i*elemsize
to
  rptr := ptr + (rcap == 0 ? 0 : i) * elemsize

This change leads to slightly smaller generated code, replacing
a load with a register zero.

While we're here, give all subexpression matches names instead
of recomputing them with .Args[i] sequences each time they
