- Adds overflow checks
- Adds parsing of negative integers
- Adds boolean return value to signal parsing errors
- Adds atoi32 for parsing of integers that fit in an int32
- Adds tests

Handling of errors to provide error messages
at the call sites is left to future CLs.

Updates #17718

<title>runtime, cmd/compile: rename memclr -&gt; memclrNoHeapPointers</title>

Since barrier-less memclr is only safe in very narrow circumstances,
this commit renames memclr to avoid accidentally calling memclr on
typed memory. This can cause subtle, non-deterministic bugs, so it's
worth some effort to prevent. In the near term, this will also prevent
bugs creeping in from any concurrent CLs that add calls to memclr; if
this happens, whichever patch hits master second will fail to compile.

This also adds the other new memclr variants to the compiler's
builtin.go to minimize the churn on that binary blob. We'll use these
in future commits.

Updates #17503.

- removes the runtime function stringtoslicebytetmp
- removes the generation of calls to stringtoslicebytetmp from the frontend
- adds handling of OSTRARRAYBYTETMP in the backend

This reduces binary sizes and avoids function call overhead.

Copies utf8 constants and EncodeRune implementation from unicode/utf8.

Adds a new decoderune implementation that is used by the compiler
in code generated for ranging over strings. It does not handle
ASCII runes since these are handled directly before calls to decoderune.

The DecodeRuneInString implementation from unicode/utf8 is not used
since it uses a lookup table that would increase the use of cpu caches.

Adds more tests that check decoding of valid and invalid utf8 sequences.

Before this CL the runtime prevented printing of overlong strings with the print
function when the length of the string was determined to be corrupted.
Corruption was checked by comparing the string size against the limit
which was stored in maxstring.

However maxstring was not updated everywhere were go strings were created
e.g. for string constants during compile time. Thereby the check for maximum
string length prevented the printing of some valid strings.

The protection maxstring provided did not warrant the bookkeeping
and global synchronization needed to keep maxstring updated to the
correct limit everywhere.

Fixes #16999

Generate a for loop for ranging over strings that only needs to call
the runtime function charntorune for non ASCII characters.

This provides faster iteration over ASCII characters and slightly
faster iteration for other characters.

The runtime function charntorune is changed to take an index from where
to start decoding and returns the index after the last byte belonging
to the decoded rune.

All call sites of charntorune in the runtime are replaced by a for loop
that will be transformed by the compiler instead of calling the charntorune
function directly.

go binary size decreases by 80 bytes.
godoc binary size increases by around 4 kilobytes.

Eliminate a spill in concatstrings.
Provide bounds elim hints in runetochar.
No significant benchmark movement.

Before:
"".runetochar t=1 size=412 args=0x28 locals=0x0
"".concatstrings t=1 size=736 args=0x30 locals=0x98

After:
"".runetochar t=1 size=337 args=0x28 locals=0x0
"".concatstrings t=1 size=711 args=0x30 locals=0x90

Zero the entire buffer so we don't need to
lower its capacity upon return.  This lets callers
do some appending without allocation.

Zeroing is cheap, the byte buffer requires only
4 extra instructions.

Fixes #14235

mallocgc can calculate noscan itself.  The only remaining
flag argument is needzero, so we just make that a boolean arg.

Fixes #15379
