    go/ssa: emit field and index lvals on demand

    Adds a new lazyAddress construct. This is the same as an *address
    except it emits a FieldAddr selection, Field selection, or IndexAddr
    on demand.

    This fixes issues with ordering on assignment statements. For example,
    x.f = e panics on x being nil in phase 2 of assignment statements.
    This change delays the introduction of the FieldAddr for x.f until it is
    used instead of as a side effect of (*builder).addr. The nil deref panic
    is from FieldAddr is now after side-effects of evaluating x and e but
    before the assignment to x.f.
