The Go spec says that when an index expression appears on the left
hand side of an assignment, the operands should be evaluated. The
gofrontend code was assuming that that only referred to the index
operand. But discussion of https://golang.org/issue/23188 has
clarified that this means both the slice/map/string operand and the
index operand. This patch adjusts the gofrontend code accordingly,
fixing the issue.  The test case for this is in
https://golang.org/cl/123115.  Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu.  Committed to mainline.
