runtime: short-circuit typedslicecopy when dstp == srcp

Browse Source 
If copying from a slice to itself, skip the write barriers
and actual memory copies.

This happens in practice in code like this snippet from
the trim pass in the compiler, when k ends up being 0:

copy(s.Values[k:], s.Values[:m])
