cmd/gc: elide write barrier for x = x[0:y] and x = append(x, ...)

Both of these forms can avoid writing to the base pointer in x
(in the slice, always, and in the append, most of the time).

For Go 1.5, will need to change the compilation of x = x[0:y]
to avoid writing to the base pointer, so that the elision is safe,
and will need to change the compilation of x = append(x, ...)
to write to the base pointer (through a barrier) only when
growing the underlying array, so that the general elision is safe.

For Go 1.4, elide the write barrier always, a change that should
have equivalent performance characteristics but is much
simpler and therefore safer.
