runtime: avoid unsafe.{Slice,String} in debuglog

CL 428157 and CL 428759 switched debuglog to using unsafe.String and
unsafe.Slice, which broke the build with -tags=debuglog because this is
a no write barrier context, but runtime.unsafeString and unsafeSlice can
panic, which includes write barriers.

We could add a panicCheck1 path to these functions to reallow write
barriers, but it is a big mess to pass around the caller PC,
particularly since the compiler generates calls. It is much simpler to
just avoid unsafe.String and Slice.

Also add a basic test to build the runtime with -tags=debuglog to help
avoid future regressions.

For #54854.
