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.
