wgengine/wglog: cache strings

We repeat many peers each time we call SetPeers.
Instead of constructing strings for them from scratch every time,
keep strings alive across iterations.

name        old time/op    new time/op    delta
SetPeers-8    3.58µs ± 1%    2.41µs ± 1%  -32.60%  (p=0.000 n=9+10)

name        old alloc/op   new alloc/op   delta
SetPeers-8    2.53kB ± 0%    1.30kB ± 0%  -48.73%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)

name        old allocs/op  new allocs/op  delta
SetPeers-8      99.0 ± 0%      16.0 ± 0%  -83.84%  (p=0.000 n=10+10)

We could reduce alloc/op 12% and allocs/op 23% if strs had
type map[string]strCache instead of map[string]*strCache,
but that wipes out the execution time impact.
Given that re-use is the most common scenario, let's optimize for it.
