runtime: allow pointers to strings to be printed

Being able to printer pointers to strings means one will able to output
the result of things like the flag library and other components that use
string pointers.

While here, adjusted the tests for gdb to test original string pretty
printing as well as pointers to them. It was doing it via the map before
but for completeness this ensures it's tested as a unit.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go directory (the one containing this file). You can omit the variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install-source.html). You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might put the following in your .profile:

export GOROOT=$HOME/go
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See https://golang.org/doc/install or doc/install.html for more details.
