refactor(core): Improve ergonomics of managing ASCII strings (#18498)

This is a follow-on to the earlier work in reducing string copies,
mainly focused on ensuring that ASCII strings are easy to provide to the
JS runtime.

While we are replacing a 16-byte reference in a number of places with a
24-byte structure (measured via `std::mem::size_of`), the reduction in
copies wins out over the additional size of the arguments passed into
functions.

Benchmarking shows approximately the same if not slightly less wallclock
time/instructions retired, but I believe this continues to open up
further refactoring opportunities.
