builtin: use type aliases for rune and byte

Browse Source 
As motivated by https://golang.org/design/18130-type-alias which says:

https://github.com/golang/proposal/blob/master/design/18130-type-alias.md#relationship-to-byte-and-rune

> The language specification already defines byte as an alias for
> uint8 and similarly rune as an alias for int32, using the word alias
> as an informal term. It is a goal that the new type declaration
> semantics not introduce a different meaning for alias. That is, it
> should be possible to describe the existing meanings of byte and
> uint8 by saying that they behave as if predefined by:
>
>     type byte = uint8
>     type rune = int32

So, do that. Seems to work.

Updates #18130
