cc2/qbe: Change load() to return Node Receiving a pointer to the struct were we want to store the result needs a lot of temporary variables in the code. If we make that load() returns a struct instead of a pointer to struct we can remove a lot of these temporaries and simplify the code. The code generated is pretty similar because returning structs usually mean passing an additional pointer to the function called where it can write the results.
