    Russ Cox authored
    The allowed conversions before and after are:
            type Tstring string
            type Tbyte []byte
            type Trune []rune
    
            string <-> string  // ok
            string <-> []byte  // ok
            string <-> []rune // ok
            string <-> Tstring // ok
            string <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
            string <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
    
            Tstring <-> string  // ok
            Tstring <-> []byte  // ok
            Tstring <-> []rune // ok
            Tstring <-> Tstring // ok
            Tstring <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
            Tstring <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok
    
    Update spec, compiler, tests.  Use in a few packages.
    
    We agreed on this a few months ago but never implemented it.
    
    Fixes #1707.
