"A + B" with strings shouldn't copy if A or B is empty.

Summary "A + B" with strings shouldn't copy if A or B is empty.

Doing A + B where A and B are string types will currently always allocate a new StringImpl C with length A.length+B.length, and then blit the contents of A and B into C. We should have a fast path for A + B where A.length == 0 || B.length == 0.

It looks like this patch is breaking the jsc command line REPL. If you try: DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH=Safari-Gala-Production-SafariTen-190882-76008.app/Contents/Frameworks ./Safari-Gala-Production-SafariTen-190882-76008.app/Contents/Resources/jsc >>> foo = 1 Exception: ReferenceError: Can't find variable: f

I see what the bug is: StringTypeAdapter<const UChar*>::toString() always uses length=1 instead of the provided character count. Crazy that no test caught this. Will fix shortly.
