review request (S/M): 6962931 move interned strings out of perm gen

[Tom Rodriguez]

I had assumed we'd be switching so that strings were always outside perm by default.  ScavengeRootsInCode must be != 0 once invokedynamic is enabled by default and since that's definitely going to be enabled in 7 don't we want to turn all this on?
