Hi,

a few asserts in java_lang_String can trigger when deduplicating
Strings. The fix is to ensure we assert using a deeper equals on the
contents of the value.  Moving the method already implemented to do this
in StringDedupTable to java_lang_String seems to be in order, along with
a few cleanups.

Testing: tier1-3

Thanks!
