Subject: [PATCH] Removed golang stringing for signed/unsigned char

With this change, generated code for golang treats char* as a string but
treats signed char* and unsigned char* as normal pointers. This seems to
fit better with the expected behavior, as the latter are more often used
as non-string data.
