[]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.
