proto, internal/impl: avoid string->[]byte conversions

We trust the compiler to optimize away the string->[]byte conversion in
code like:

	b = wire.AppendBytes(b, []byte(s))

In testing (go 1.12.5 linux/amd64), this optimization is not happening.
Perhaps newer versions of the compiler will optimize this, but we
shouldn't rely on it; avoid unnecessary conversions.
