I can't see any tests varying the alignment of Compare arguments. Since Compare is written in assembly on most platforms (in internal/bytealg) we should probably be checking that it works even if the inputs are unaligned.

I'm interested in working on this. This would require making changes to the bytes/compare_test.go, is that correct? Thanks!

@LotusFenn Yes, bytes/compare_test.go and strings/compare_test.go. An additional short test in each that just varies the input alignment from, say, 0 to 16 (inclusive) would be great. Thanks!

@LotusFenn @ianlancetaylor
bytes: vary the input alignment to Compare argument in compare_test.go 
Currently there are no tests that vary the alignment of Compare arguments.
Since Compare is written in assembly on most platforms (in internal/bytealg)
we should be testing different input alignments. This change modifies TestCompare
to vary the alignment of the second argument of Compare.

Updates #26129
