Arnold Schwaighofer 5a25a00d1f stdlib: Move the darwin String implementation over to use the ICU library. ...

We no longer create intermediate NSString copies to compare and hash swift
Strings. Instead we call directly into the ICU library.

I measured a 1.2 to 2x improvement on dictionary benchmarks as a result of this.
The SuperChars benchmark is also about 1.2x faster because of this.

Pure ASCII comparison has gotten a little bit slower (20% on a pure comparison
micro-benchmark) because we no longer do a memcmp. Doing a memcmp on ASCII is
not the same as the default unicode collation. Instead we have to a string scan.
The default unicode collation does not order like ASCII does and ignores
characters (for example the \0 character).
