UninitializedMemoryHacks

UninitializedMemoryHacks

Summary:
This diff adds helper functions that can resize std::string or std::vector
without constructing or initializing new elements.  They are designed
for retroactively optimizing code where touching every element twice
(or touching never-used elements once) shows up in profiling, and where
restructuring the code to use fixed-length arrays or IOBuf-s would
be difficult.

Implementations are provided for 5 string implementations (pre-c++11
libstdc++, libstdc++ with SSO, libc++, std::basic_fbstring, and MSVC)
and 3 vector implementations (libstdc++, libc++, and MSVC).  On an
unsupported platform you will hopefully get a #warn if you include
UninitializedMemoryHacks.h followed by a linker error if you actually
use it.
