    runtime: unify memeq and memequal · bd70bd9c
    Keith Randall authored
    They do the same thing, except memequal also has the short-circuit
    check if the two pointers are equal.
    
    A) We might as well always do the short-circuit check, it is only 2 instructions.
    B) The extra function call (memequal->memeq) is expensive.
    
    benchmark                 old ns/op     new ns/op     delta
    BenchmarkArrayEqual-8     8.56          5.31          -37.97%
    
    No noticeable affect on the former memeq user (maps).
    
    Fixes #14302
