Description: Implements #2972, providing a way to embed UTF-8 string constants. Rationale UTF-16 strings are naturally embedded in the data section if you use a string constant ("...") in your code. If what you need is a UTF-8 string, then storing as WTF-16 wastes binary space and execution time. Current workaround You can currently achieve the same result by using memory.data([..., 0]) with the appropriate UTF-8 bytes, but reading/changing/reviewing this code is more difficult. Changes Declare memory.dataUTF8() function in standard library Implement the built-in in the compiler Add test to tests/compiler/memory.ts npm run check shows no errors for the files I touched. (Existing errors in tests/import/index.ts are unrelated.) I've read the contributing guidelines I've added my name and email to the NOTICE file
