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.
