Jake Bailey 9e7d89d4d5 compiler: pass large aggregates by pointer
LLVM ComputeValueVTs recursively expands arrays and structs into one
value type per scalar leaf. SelectionDAG call lowering allocates data
structures proportional to this count, which makes very large values
exhaust memory or crash LLVM.

Count scalar leaves and use pointers for internal parameters and results
when the count exceeds 1024. A result pointer is the first parameter,
and aggregate parameters point to read-only memory. Exported function
types are unchanged.

Keep these SSA values in memory and copy them with memcpy when needed.
Handle calls, interfaces, maps, channels, selects, defers, goroutines,
phis, and multiple results. Update the expected compiler IR and re-enable
the native compress/flate tests.

// to run copy in a goroutine as there is no way to (safely) know
// when it is finished.
// - panic: the error message would appear in the parent goroutine.
// But because `go panic("err")` would halt the program anyway
// (there is no recover), panicking right away would give the same
// behavior as creating a goroutine, switching the scheduler to that
// goroutine, and panicking there. So this optimization seems
