There are still two places in src/runtime/string.go that use
staticbytes, so we cannot delete it just yet.
There is a new codegen test to verify that the index calculation
is constant-folded, at least on amd64. ppc64, mips[64] and s390x
cannot currently do that.
There is also a new runtime benchmark to ensure that this does not
slow down performance (tested against parent commit):
name old time/op new time/op delta
ConvT2EByteSized/bool-4 1.07ns ± 1% 1.07ns ± 1% ~ (p=0.060 n=14+15)
ConvT2EByteSized/uint8-4 1.06ns ± 1% 1.07ns ± 1% ~ (p=0.095 n=14+15)
