Generate a for loop for ranging over strings that only needs to call
the runtime function charntorune for non ASCII characters.
This provides faster iteration over ASCII characters and slightly
faster iteration for other characters.
The runtime function charntorune is changed to take an index from where
to start decoding and returns the index after the last byte belonging
to the decoded rune.
All call sites of charntorune in the runtime are replaced by a for loop
that will be transformed by the compiler instead of calling the charntorune
function directly.
go binary size decreases by 80 bytes.
godoc binary size increases by around 4 kilobytes.
