patch to String.intern


I got a crash in (I think) _Jv_StringFindSlot involving a string that
had a data field pointing to a separate char[].  I think the latter
had been zero'd, presumably by some gc bug.  I didn't really track down
the problem, but it seems to be it makes sense that intern'd strings
should all be single-object strings (i.e. one whose data field is this).
(This came up in the discussion of saving a String's hashCode.)  I
implemented this patch, and the problem seems to have gone away.

I also changed unintern from a method to a static function.  That
seems much cleaner, and we don't get into the confusing issues
of C++ pointers-to-member.

Ok to apply?

	* java/lang/String.cc (intern):  If string's data does not point to
	this String, make a fresh String that does.

	* java/lang/String.cc (unintern):  Replace method by static function.
	* java/lang/String.java (unintern):  Remove method.
