log/slog: use plain string concatenation for Attr.String

Plain string concatenation with the plus operator for Attr.String is
much faster than invoking fmt.Sprintf. Added a benchmark to verify
this (just running on my Mac with stuff in the background but should
be sufficient to demonstrate the effect).

name          old time/op  new time/op  delta
AttrString-8  1.24µs ± 3%  0.43µs ± 0%  -65.17%  (p=0.000 n=20+17)

name          old alloc/op   new alloc/op   delta
AttrString-8      432B ± 0%      152B ± 0%   ~     (p=1.000 n=1+1)

name          old allocs/op  new allocs/op  delta
AttrString-8      30.0 ± 0%      16.0 ± 0%   ~     (p=1.000 n=1+1)
