bytes, internal/bytealg: simplify Equal

The compiler has advanced enough that it is cheaper
to convert to strings than to go through the assembly
trampolines to call runtime.memequal.

Simplify Equal accordingly, and cull dead code from bytealg.

While we're here, simplify Equal's documentation.

Fixes #31587
