[turbofan] Introduce dedicated NewConsString operator.

This is in preparation of adding a dedicated StringLength operator that
loads the string length. This way operations on strings don't sit in the
effect chain anymore until the EffectControlLinearizer, which wires them.

The NewConsString semantics could still be better, i.e. it could try to
figure out the proper map instead of going for the CONS_STRING_TYPE
always. But this change is meant to be just about pushing the logic down
to the EffectControlLinearizer, which we didn't have initially when the
ConsString handling was done.

This also allows us to remove the handling of CONS_STRING_TYPE from the
Deoptimizer, since the escape analysis no longer sees cons strings.
