This patch to the Go frontend by Cherry Zhang stack allocates a buffer for non-escaping string operations. For string concatenation, string to/from byte or rune slice conversion, and int to string conversion, if the result does not escape, we can allocate a small (32-element, or 4-byte for int to string) buffer on stack, and pass it to the runtime function. If the result fits in the buffer, it doesn't need to do a heap allocation. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
