cmd/compile/internal/gc: avoid allocation in bnum

Although bnum was being called with a Bits value, a limitation
of the escape analyser (golang/go#12588) meant that taking the
address of the Bits.b array in the range statement caused the
formal parameter to escape to the heap.

Passing the a pointer to a Bits, as with all the other Bits helper
methods avoids the allocation.

Before:
BenchmarkBnum1-4        20000000                69.6 ns/op            32 B/op          1 allocs/op

After:
BenchmarkBnum1-4        100000000               10.1 ns/op             0 B/op          0 allocs/op
