cmd/gc: don't copy []byte during string comparison
Currently we allocate a new string during []byte->string conversion in string comparison expressions. String allocation is unnecessary in this case, because comparison does memorize the strings for later use. This change uses slicebytetostringtmp to construct temp string directly from []byte buffer and passes it to runtime.eqstring.
