3cafa65462 Track ascii-ness of data in externalized strings.
If a two-byte string only contains ascii characters, then we can save
memory when flattening a cons string containing it. Similarly we can
use this in Array.prototype.join implementation. To track this a new
bit is added to instance type. This bit is used as a hint in generated
code and in runtime functions.

To enable testing a new V8 extension is added controlled by
--expose-externalize-string flag.
