cmd/compile: optimize lookupVarOutgoing

If b has exactly one predecessor, as happens
frequently with static calls, we can make
lookupVarOutgoing generate less garbage.

Instead of generating a value that is just
going to be an OpCopy and then get eliminated,
loop. This can lead to lots of looping.
However, this loop is way cheaper than generating
lots of ssa.Values and then eliminating them.

For a subset of the code in #15537:

Before:

       28.31 real        36.17 user         1.68 sys
2282450944  maximum resident set size

After:

        9.63 real        11.66 user         0.51 sys
 638144512  maximum resident set size

Updates #15537.

Excitingly, it appears that this also helps
regular code:

It also seems to help in other cases in which
phi insertion is a pain point (#14774, #14934).
