WebAssembly#6244 tried to do this but was not quite right. It treated a string like an array or a struct, which means create a global for it. But just creating a global isn't enough, as it needs to also be sorted in the right place etc. which requires changes in other places. But there is a much simpler solution here: string constants are just constants, which we can emit in-line, so do that.
