Avoid use of std::string where we have const char*.

Removing the ClassHelper caused std::string creation for all calls to
Class::GetDescriptor and a significant performance regression. Make the
std::string an out argument so the caller can maintain it and its life time
while allowing GetDescriptor to return the common const char* case.

Don't generate GC maps when compilation is disabled.

Remove other uses of std::string that are occuring on critical paths.
Use the cheaper SkipClass in CompileMethod in CompilerDriver.
Specialize the utf8 as utf16 comparison code for the common shorter byte
encoding.
Force a bit of inlining, remove some UNLIKELYs (they are prone to pessimizing
code), add some LIKELYs.
