strings: intrinsify and optimize Compare

slices.SortFunc requires a three-way comparison and we need an
efficient strings.Compare to perform three-way string comparisons.
This new implementation adds bytealg.CompareString as a wrapper of
runtime_cmpstring and changes Compare to use bytealg.CompareString.

The new implementation of Compare with runtime_cmpstring is about
28% faster than the previous one.

Fixes #61725
