[dev.link] cmd/internal/goobj2: change StringRef encoding for better locality

Previously, StringRef is encoded as an offset pointing to
{ len, [len]byte }. This CL changes it to { len, offset }, where
offset points the bytes.

With the new format, reading a string header is just reading two
adjacent uint32s, without accessing the string table. This should
improve locality of object file reading.
