hg: jdk7/hotspot-comp/hotspot: 2 new changesets

[Paul Hohensee]

StringValue is a front-end cache for String(String) that's in 6u14.  
StringValue isn't
forward-ported to jdk7 yet, but Hotspot has to work with both jdk6 and jdk7,
hence the putback.  The bug started out private because it was a competitive
performance advantage issue.  It's not anymore because jrockit uses one.
