cmd/compile: set/unset base register for better assembly print
Cherry Zhang authored
For address of an auto or arg, on all non-x86 architectures
the assembler backend encodes the actual SP offset in the
instruction but leaves the offset in Prog unchanged. When the
assembly is printed in compile -S, it shows an offset
relative to pseudo FP/SP with an actual hardware SP base
register (e.g. R13 on ARM). This is confusing. Unset the
base register if it is indeed SP, so the assembly output is
consistent. If the base register isn't SP, it should be an
error and the error output contains the actual base register.

For address loading instructions, the base register isn't set
in the compiler on non-x86 architectures. Set it. Normally it
is SP and will be unset in the change mentioned above for
printing. If it is not, it will be an error and the error
output contains the actual base register.

No change in generated binary, only printed assembly. Passes
"go build -a -toolexec 'toolstash -cmp' std cmd" on all
architectures.

Fixes #21064.
