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.
