Thanks Vladimir!

There is little need: all string concat tests are calling String concat
stubs from non-privileged callers, and hence are verified. E.g. new
regression test does fail with verification error even without -Xverify:all.
But it is a good idea to force verification in concat tests just in case
that ever fails:

This new patch flies through full JPRT without a hitch.
