cmd/link: skip allocation when reading symbol name
The object file reader in cmd/link reads the symbol name into a scratch
[]byte, converts it to a string, and then does a substring replacement.
Instead, this CL does the replacement on the []byte into the scratch
space and then creates the final string.
Linking godoc without DWARF, best of ten, shows a ~10% improvement.

This is part of an attempt to make suffixarray string deduping
come out as a wash, but it's not there yet:
cl/19987: real 0m1.335s user 0m1.794s
cl/19987+this: real 0m1.225s user 0m1.540s
