src: use v8::String::NewFrom*() functions
* Change calls to String::New() and String::NewSymbol() to their respective one-byte, two-byte and UTF-8 counterparts. * Add a FIXED_ONE_BYTE_STRING macro that takes a string literal and turns it into a v8::Local<v8::String>. * Add helper functions that make v8::String::NewFromOneByte() easier to work with. Said function expects a `const uint8_t*` but almost every call site deals with `const char*` or `const unsigned char*`. Helps us avoid doing reinterpret_casts all over the place. * Code that handles file system paths keeps using UTF-8 for backwards compatibility reasons. At least now the use of UTF-8 is explicit. * Remove v8::String::NewSymbol() entirely. Almost all call sites were effectively minor de-optimizations. If you create a string only once, there is no point in making it a symbol. If you are create the same string repeatedly, it should probably be cached in a persistent handle.
