Russ Cox 21af2d39c2 cmd/compile, cmd/link: eliminate string merging pass
Deleting the string merging pass makes the linker 30-35% faster
but makes jujud (using the github.com/davecheney/benchjuju snapshot) 2.5% larger.
Two optimizations bring the space overhead down to 0.6%.

First, change the default alignment for string data to 1 byte.
(It was previously defaulting to larger amounts, usually pointer width.)

Second, write out the type string for T (usually a bigger expression) as "*T"[1:],
so that the type strings for T and *T share storage.

Combined, these obtain the bulk of the benefit of string merging
at essentially no cost. The remaining benefit from string merging
is not worth the excessive cost, so delete it.

As penance for making the jujud binary 0.6% larger,
the next CL in this sequence trims the reflect functype
information enough to make the jujud binary overall 0.75% smaller
(that is, that CL has a net -1.35% effect).

For #6853.
Fixes #14648.

The Go Programming Language

Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software.

Our canonical Git repository is located at https://go.googlesource.com/go. There is a mirror of the repository at https://github.com/golang/go.

Go is the work of hundreds of contributors. We appreciate your help!

To contribute, please read the contribution guidelines: https://golang.org/doc/contribute.html

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
