match lowering cleanup: remove unused unsizing logic from `non_scalar_compare`

Since array and slice constants are now translated to array and slice patterns, `non_scalar_compare` is only used for string comparisons. This specializes it to strings, renames it, and removes the unused array-unsizing logic.

This also updates the doc comments for  `thir::PatKind::Constant` and `TestKind::Eq`, which referred to them being used for slice references.
