doc/ref: simplify string model

The difference in semantics between strings and bytes
hampers there interchangabilty. This can be improved
by moving the smarts of interpreting strings to a
bytes, strings, (or text) package, making it also very clear
when smart interpretation is needed (or not).

This requires removing a bunch of the operations
currently supported for bytes and strings.

At a later stage, we can relax this further and make
single and double quoted strings interchangable.
