This is a reland of ef2a19a211.
Use AllocateJSArray to avoid allocating an empty fixed array.
Original change's description:
> Add fast path for spreading primitive strings.
>
> This improves the performance on primitive strings of
> IterableToListWithSymbolLookup, which implements the
> CreateArrayFromIterable bytecode. The fast path is only
> taken if the string iterator protector is valid (that is,
> String.prototype[Symbol.iterator] and
> String.prototype[Symbol.iterator]().next are untouched).
>
> This brings spreading of primitive strings closer to the
> performance of the string iterator optimizations.
> (see https://docs.google.com/document/d/13z1fvRVpe_oEroplXEEX0a3WK94fhXorHjcOMsDmR-8/).

The protector is useful for follow-up optimizations on string iterator.
Tests are also added.
