With the new builtin optimization guard we can just speculatively assume
that the index passed to String#charAt and String#charCodeAt (in
optimized
code) is going to be within the valid range for the receiver. This is
what Crankshaft used to do, and it avoids Smi checks on the result for
String#charCodeAt, since it can no longer return NaN.
This gives rise to further optimizations of these builtins (i.e. to
completely avoid the tagging of char codes), and by itself already
improves the regression test originally reported from 650ms to
610ms.
