[dev.regabi] cmd/compile: replace *Node type with an interface Node [generated]

The plan is to introduce a Node interface that replaces the old *Node pointer-to-struct.

The previous CL defined an interface INode modeling a *Node.

This CL:
 - Changes all references outside internal/ir to use INode,
   along with many references inside internal/ir as well.
 - Renames Node to node.
 - Renames INode to Node

So now ir.Node is an interface implemented by *ir.node, which is otherwise inaccessible,
and the code outside package ir is now (clearly) using only the interface.

The usual rule is never to redefine an existing name with a new meaning,
so that old code that hasn't been updated gets a "unknown name" error
instead of more mysterious errors or silent misbehavior. That rule would
caution against replacing Node-the-struct with Node-the-interface,
as in this CL, because code that says *Node would now be using a pointer
to an interface. But this CL is being landed at the same time as another that
moves Node from gc to ir. So the net effect is to replace *gc.Node with ir.Node,
which does follow the rule: any lingering references to gc.Node will be told
it's gone, not silently start using pointers to interfaces. So the rule is followed
by the CL sequence, just not this specific CL.

Overall, the loss of inlining caused by using interfaces cuts the compiler speed
by about 6%, a not insignificant amount. However, as we convert the representation
to concrete structs that are not the giant Node over the next weeks, that speed
should come back as more of the compiler starts operating directly on concrete types
and the memory taken up by the graph of Nodes drops due to the more precise
structs. Honestly, I was expecting worse.
