cmd/compile: don't statically copy string-typed variables
During package initialization, the compiler tries to optimize:
var A = "foo"
var B = A
into
var A = "foo"
var B = "foo"
so that we can statically initialize both A and B and skip emitting
dynamic initialization code to assign "B = A".
However, this isn't safe in the presence of cmd/link's -X flag, which
might overwrite an initialized string-typed variable at link time. In
particular, if cmd/link changes A's static initialization, it won't
know it also needs to change B's static initialization.
To address this, this CL disables this optimization for string-typed
variables.
Fixes #34675.
