creating workflow for mirror::String compression
All-ASCII String characters are stored in 8-bit blocks
instead of 16-bit. The compression has not taken place, but all
workflow are in the code already (changing kUseStringCompression in
string.h file to TRUE will enable the feature)
Notes: Feature works on interpreter only without optimizing
Test art: m ART_TEST_INTERPRETER=true ART_TEST_OPTIMIZING=false
test-art-host
Also tested with String tests from libcore/:
1. libcore.java.lang.StringTest
2. libcore.java.lang.StringBufferTest
3. libcore.java.lang.StringBuilderTest
4. libcore.java.lang.OldStringTest
5. libcore.java.lang.OldStringBufferTest
Memory improvement is 33% (from 6.03% to 4.03%, total String memory
from all apps per total memory of all apps) measured on Angler
with Hprof tools
