For moves >8,<16 bytes, do a move using non-overlapping loads/stores
if it would require no more instructions.
This helps a bit with the case when the move is from a static
constant, because then the code to materialize the value being moved
is smaller.

Instead of
MOVB go.string."foo"(SB), AX
do
MOVB $102, AX
When we know the global we're loading from is readonly, we can
do that read at compile time.
I've made this arch-dependent mostly because the cases where this
happens often are memory->memory moves, and those don't get
decomposed until lowering.
Did amd64/386/arm/arm64. Other architectures could follow.

Do []byte(string) conversions more efficiently when the string
is a constant. Instead of calling stringtobyteslice, allocate
just the space we need and encode the initialization directly.
[]byte("foo") rewrites to the following pseudocode:
var s [3]byte // on heap or stack, depending on whether b escapes
s = *(*[3]byte)(&"foo"[0]) // initialize s from the string
b = s[:]
which generates this assembly:
0x001d 00029 (tmp1.go:9) LEAQ type.[3]uint8(SB), AX
0x0024 00036 (tmp1.go:9) MOVQ AX, (SP)
0x0028 00040 (tmp1.go:9) CALL runtime.newobject(SB)
0x002d 00045 (tmp1.go:9) MOVQ 8(SP), AX
0x0032 00050 (tmp1.go:9) MOVBLZX go.string."foo"+2(SB), CX
0x0039 00057 (tmp1.go:9) MOVWLZX go.string."foo"(SB), DX
0x0040 00064 (tmp1.go:9) MOVW DX, (AX)
0x0043 00067 (tmp1.go:9) MOVB CL, 2(AX)
// Then the slice is b = {AX, 3, 3}
The generated code is still not optimal, as it still does load/store
from read-only memory instead of constant stores. Next CL...
