Russ Cox 6e3e380923 allow direct conversion between string and named []byte, []rune
The allowed conversions before and after are:
        type Tstring string
        type Tbyte []byte
        type Trune []rune

        string <-> string  // ok
        string <-> []byte  // ok
        string <-> []rune // ok
        string <-> Tstring // ok
        string <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
        string <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok

        Tstring <-> string  // ok
        Tstring <-> []byte  // ok
        Tstring <-> []rune // ok
        Tstring <-> Tstring // ok
        Tstring <-> Tbyte // was illegal, now ok
        Tstring <-> Trune // was illegal, now ok

Update spec, compiler, tests.  Use in a few packages.

We agreed on this a few months ago but never implemented it.

Fixes #1707.

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 README).  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.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 doc/install.html for more details.
