Use string type for extended attribute values, instead of []byte.
Strings are a better fit for this usage because they are immutable in Go, and can contain arbitrary bytes. It also allows us to avoid casting bytes to string (and the associated allocation) in the hot path when checking for overlay whiteouts.
