DRAFT: Fast paths for large, native strings

[milseman]

Pulls in a bunch of String-internal bit fiddly code in order to quickly get a pointer to contiguous UTF-8 if we're a (large) native string.

Extract out the Metrics data (unused in release builds), as it seems like having Processor surpass the 256-byte size causes significant regressions for some reason. (see milseman#1).

The below results are post- #642 and post- #644

Not sure why that got marked as a review. Ignore.
