What did you do?

I compiled so go programs and looked at their location lists. I have a fix for this but wanted to create an issue to reference and track it.

What did you see happen?

Sometimes I'd see location lists with adjacent PC ranges and the same locations for variables.

What did you expect to see?

I expected to see these location lists merged.

cmd/compile/internal/ssa: merge more loc lists
4b1a278 
Before this change, the logic to merge location lists would choose not
to merge if the old and new entries were both on the stack, but the new
entry was in fewer registers than old one or if both locations were in
registers but the new one is no longer in a register that was not going
to be output.

Fixes golang#65005

This bug has a substantial impact on the size of location lists. For example, for cockroach this change reduces the size of the .debug_loc section by 848164 bytes or 7.1%.
