cmd/compile,runtime: pass only ptr and len to some runtime calls

Some runtime calls accept a slice, but only use ptr and len.
This change modifies most such routines to accept only ptr and len.

After this change, the only runtime calls that accept an unnecessary
cap arg are concatstrings and slicerunetostring.
Neither is particularly common, and both are complicated to modify.

Negligible compiler performance impact. Shrinks binaries a little.
There are only a few regressions; the one I investigated was
due to register allocation fluctuation.

Passes 'go test -race std cmd', modulo #38265 and #38266.
Wow, does that take a long time to run.

Updates #36890
