- Instead of a pointer to new'd memory, Kernel strings now have an
offset from the start of the string data.
- When the streaming reader encounters the string data it records the
offset from the start of the binary. This offset is stored in the
Kernel Program and is used to compute the offset for strings.
- When a KernelReader is constructed, the string data is copied into a
Uint8 array in the VM's heap.
- A pointer to the string data is put into every Kernel script so it
can be used for constructing VM strings at compile time.
The source table does not use Kernel strings any more because those
strings are not found in the raw string data. Instead, the source
table uses new'd buffers for strings (but this will be cleaned up
separately).

Instead of a list of strings given by their length and UTF-8 encoding,
restructure the string table to consist of a list of string ending
offsets followed by a blob of UTF-8 encoded strings without lengths.
This is a step toward copying the string blob into the VM's heap and
building a heap-allocated structure to give random access to them.
