  [GH #837] Honor encoding in imcc optimizer

Context registers unfortunately do not store type information,
just the values. We would need at least type 'U" here.
So recreate an proper const'ed encoding string from the register
value.

  [GH #837] Add benchmark to test encoding slowdown

stress_stringsu.pir tests encoding via sprintf and concat.
The fixed version is only a bit slower then the old broken version.
13.666s (broken) vs 13.506s (fixed) vs 3.022s (without encoding).

So fixing the encoding representation as STRING* in SREG and consts 'U'
is a worthwile goal.

  -----------
  [GH #837] New comparison benchmark against stress_stringsu.pir

Bad news:
There is almost no measurable speed advantage from ascii strings to encoded strings.
With the fix and without the fix, as sprintf handling slows down the test 4x times.

So converting a SREG and const to encoded STRING* will not gain much performance.

  Merge branch 'gh837_concat'

Fixes [GH #837], a imcc optimizer problem with SREG's and const
not holding STRING*, thus no good encoding information.

Check for all needed content allocation cases. The previous version
failed when realloc'ing the content, Now use a fresh copy when needed.
