Prior to this fix, if a byte string literal happened to contain
a sequence of bytes that could be interpreted as a UTF-8 codepoint,
then the size of the String in Crystal would be less than
expected (because there are fewer codepoints than bytes),
which was resulting in the byte literal being generated in LLVM IR
as having its last few bytes trimmed off the end.
Using bytesize instead of size in Crystal fixes this issue.
