ahaas 5d8cfbbd06 [turbofan] Don't call String::Flatten in Constant::ToHeapObject()
The call to String::Flatten can cause garbage collection and in general adds
complexity to the code generation. It also blocks the way to run code generation on worker threads.

The call to String::Flatten in Constant::ToHeapObject() seems not to be necessary
for correctness. If removing this call affects performance negatively, we can revert
this CL.
