cmd/compile: avoid duplicate GC bitmap symbols

Currently, liveness produces a distinct obj.LSym for each GC bitmap
for each function. These are then named by content hash and only
ultimately deduplicated by WriteObjFile.

For various reasons (see next commit), we want to remove this
deduplication behavior from WriteObjFile. Furthermore, it's
inefficient to produce these duplicate symbols in the first place.

GC bitmaps are the only source of duplicate symbols in the compiler.
This commit eliminates these duplicate symbols by declaring them in
the Ctxt symbol hash just like every other obj.LSym. As a result, all
GC bitmaps with the same content now refer to the same obj.LSym.

The next commit will remove deduplication from WriteObjFile.

For #27539.
