cmd/compile: accept string|[]byte-constrained 2nd argument in append
Similarly to what we do for the built-in function `copy`,
where we allow a string as 2nd argument to append, also
permit a type parameter constrained by string|[]byte.
While at it, change date in the manual.go2 test files so
that we don't need to constantly correct it when copying
a test case from that file into a proper test file.
Fixes #50281.
