cmd/compile/internal/gc: add alternative node dumper for debugging
dump/fdump is a reflection-based data structure dumper slightly customized for the compiler's Node data structure. It dumps the transitivle closure of Node (and other) data structures using a recursive descent depth first traversal and permits filtering options (recursion depth limitation, filtering of struct fields). I have been using it to diagnose compiler bugs and found it more useful than the existing node printing code in some cases because field filtering reduces the output to the interesting parts. No impact on rest of compiler if functions are not called (which they only should during a debugging session).
