Simon Li e7d8668a6a cmd/compile: use a value slice for SSA Func.Names
Func.Names was []*LocalSlot, so every entry was a separately
heap-allocated LocalSlot. Most named values are scalars that are never
decomposed, yet each one still allocated a LocalSlot when it was first
recorded in addNamedValue.

Change Func.Names to []LocalSlot. addNamedValue now appends the slot by
value and no longer eagerly fills CanonicalLocalSlots. The canonical
*LocalSlot used for SplitOf chains and split deduplication is created
lazily by localSlotAddr, so only slots that are actually decomposed pay
for it. The names stay contiguous and the garbage collector has one
fewer pointer per name to scan.

This is a follow-up to CL 790300, the addNamedValue escape fix for
issue #79990. That change stopped the slot escaping; this one removes
the remaining per-name allocation for slots that are never decomposed.

Passes toolstash -cmp; std and cmd build byte-identical.
