runtime: simplify and optimize typedslicecopy

Currently, typedslicecopy meticulously performs a typedmemmove on
every element of the slice. This probably used to be necessary because
we only had an individual element's type, but now we use the heap
bitmap, so we only need to know whether the type has any pointers and
how big it is. Hence, this CL rewrites typedslicecopy to simply
perform one bulk barrier and one memmove.

This also has a side-effect of eliminating two unnecessary write
barriers per slice element that were coming from updates to dstp and
srcp, which were stored in the parent stack frame. However, most of
the win comes from eliminating the loops.
