    cmd/gc: use 100x less memory for []byte("string") · d227d680
    Russ Cox authored
    []byte("string") was simplifying to
    []byte{0: 0x73, 1: 0x74, 2: 0x72, 3: 0x69, 4: 0x6e, 5: 0x67},
    but that latter form takes up much more memory in the compiler.
    Preserve the string form and recognize it to turn global variables
    initialized this way into linker-initialized data.
    
    Reduces the compiler memory footprint for a large []byte initialized
    this way from approximately 10 kB/B to under 100 B/B.
    
    See also issue 6643.
