With the introduction of String.newStringWithLatin1Bytes, we can use it to simplify the toString methods of Integer and Long. By replacing the implementation that supports COMPACT_STRING = false with newStringWithLatin1Bytes, we gain the following benefits:
1. Simplified implementation
2. Strings with codeSize < 35 in Integer.toString(int) and Long.toString(long) can be inlined in C1, improving performance in early calls.

-------------

Commit messages:
 - Simplify toString() implementations in Integer and Long classes\n\nReplace conditional COMPACT_STRINGS checks with direct calls to\nString.newStringWithLatin1Bytes() for better code clarity and\nmaintainability. This change affects:\n\n- Integer.toString(int)\n- Integer.toUnsignedString0(int, int)\n- Long.toString(long)\n- Long.toUnsignedString0(long, int)\n\nThe new approach leverages the existing String.newStringWithLatin1Bytes()\nmethod which already handles the COMPACT_STRINGS logic internally.
