cmd/compile/internal/escape: optimize indirect closure calls

This CL extends escape analysis in two ways.

First, we already optimize directly called closures. For example,
given:

	var x int  // already stack allocated today
	p := func() *int { return &x }()

we don't need to move x to the heap, because we can statically track
where &x flows. This CL extends the same idea to work for indirectly
called closures too, as long as we know everywhere that they're
called. For example:

	var x int  // stack allocated after this CL
	f := func() *int { return &x }
	p := f()

This will allow a subsequent CL to move the generation of go/defer
wrappers earlier.

Second, this CL adds tracking to detect when pointer values flow to
the pointee operand of an indirect assignment statement (i.e., flows
to p in "*p = x") or to builtins that modify memory (append, copy,
clear). This isn't utilized in the current CL, but a subsequent CL
will make use of it to better optimize string->[]byte conversions.

Updates #2205.
