Keith Randall ceb0c371d9 cmd/compile: make []byte("...") more efficient
Do []byte(string) conversions more efficiently when the string
is a constant. Instead of calling stringtobyteslice, allocate
just the space we need and encode the initialization directly.

[]byte("foo") rewrites to the following pseudocode:

var s [3]byte // on heap or stack, depending on whether b escapes
s = *(*[3]byte)(&"foo"[0]) // initialize s from the string
b = s[:]

which generates this assembly:

	0x001d 00029 (tmp1.go:9)	LEAQ	type.[3]uint8(SB), AX
	0x0024 00036 (tmp1.go:9)	MOVQ	AX, (SP)
	0x0028 00040 (tmp1.go:9)	CALL	runtime.newobject(SB)
	0x002d 00045 (tmp1.go:9)	MOVQ	8(SP), AX
	0x0032 00050 (tmp1.go:9)	MOVBLZX	go.string."foo"+2(SB), CX
	0x0039 00057 (tmp1.go:9)	MOVWLZX	go.string."foo"(SB), DX
	0x0040 00064 (tmp1.go:9)	MOVW	DX, (AX)
	0x0043 00067 (tmp1.go:9)	MOVB	CL, 2(AX)
// Then the slice is b = {AX, 3, 3}

The generated code is still not optimal, as it still does load/store
from read-only memory instead of constant stores.  Next CL...

Update #26498
Fixes #10170
