Avoid multi-processor bus contention on increment/decrement-and- test of the reference count in the empty-string object...

	Avoid multi-processor bus contention on increment/decrement-and-
	test of the reference count in the empty-string object, by comparing
        addresses first, and never touching the reference count of the empty-
        string object.
	* include/bits/basic_string.h:
	(_S_empty_rep_storage): Move into basic_string<>::_Rep for use by its
	members.
	(_Rep::_S_empty_rep()): New accessor.
	(_Rep::_M_length, _Rep::_M_capacity, _Rep::_M_references): Move to
	a base class _Rep_base.
	(_Rep::_M_dispose, _Rep::_M_refcopy): Check for the empty string.
	(basic_string()): Change to use _M_refdata() in place of _M_refcopy(),
	since no longer must increment its refcount.
	* include/bits/basic_string.tcc:
	(_Rep::_M_destroy, _M_leak_hard): Check for the empty string and
        return immediately.  The former might be unnecessary.  The latter
        prevents begin() and end() from cloning it unnecessarily.
	(_S_construct(_InIterator, _InIterator, const _Alloc&,
	input_iterator_tag), _S_construct(_InIterator, _InIterator,
	const _Alloc&, forward_iterator_tag), _S_construct(size_type, _CharT,
	const _Alloc&)): Change to use _M_refdata() in place of _M_refcopy().
	(_M_mutate): Check for the empty string and treat it as shared.
        This is necessary here because _M_mutate is sometimes called with
        all-zero arguments; in all other uses of _M_is_shared, the test comes
        out right anyhow.
