Marginal improvement for generated code in execExprInterp.c.

Avoid the coding pattern "*op->resvalue = f();", as some compilers think
that requires them to evaluate "op->resvalue" before the function call.
Unless there are lots of free registers, this can lead to a useless
register spill and reload across the call.

I changed all the cases like this in ExecInterpExpr(), but didn't bother
in the out-of-line opcode eval subroutines, since those are presumably
not as performance-critical.
