Feature

See title

Benefit

This would allow the linker to deduplicate the strings. In addition some linker don't like mixing attributes between sections that get merged, so if the user of cg_clif specified that the data object needs to end up in __TEXT/__cstring, we will need to respect the cstring_literals section type likely specified by the user too.

Implementation

cranelift-jit can ignore this and cranelift-object can use SectionKind::ReadOnlyString.

Can this be re-opened? That PR only allows it on Mach-O. ELF and COFF still don't allow marking as C string.
