In terms of specifiers, argv is never referenced after a method call as
shown in #3090.
Reduction of object code can be expected.
If you need to refer to argv after a method call in the same loop,
update argv after the method call.
`mrb_string_value_cstr` and `mrb_string_value_len`: obsolete
`mrb_string_cstr`: new function to retrieve NULL terminated C string
`RSTRING_CSTR`: wrapper macro of `mrb_string_cstr`
The binary sizes (gems are only `mruby-bin-mruby`) are reduced slightly in
my environment than before the introduction of new specifiers/modifiers
(5116789a) with this change.

BTW, I accidentally changed `tasks/toolchains/visualcpp.rake` at #4613,
so I put it back.
Before this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'p Module.new.freeze.dup.frozen?' #=> true
After this patch (same as Ruby):
$ bin/mruby -e 'p Module.new.freeze.dup.frozen?' #=> false
Before this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'p Struct.new("A-")'
#=> Struct::"A-"
After this patch:
$ bin/mruby -e 'p Struct.new("A-")'
#=> NameError: identifier A- needs to be constant
Before this patch:
p (class << Object.new.freeze; self end).frozen? #=> false
sc = class << (o=Object.new); self end; o.freeze; p sc.frozen? #=> false
After this patch / Ruby:
p (class << Object.new.freeze; self end).frozen? #=> true
sc = class << (o=Object.new); self end; o.freeze; p sc.frozen? #=> true
The addresses for packed inline symbols reference `mrb->symbuf` that
could be overridden by the later call of `mrb_sym2name_len`. Since
file names in call stack information are kept as symbols, keeping the
address in the C structures could cause problems like #4342.
This changes small incompatible changes in function prototypes:
* `mrb_parser_get_filename`: return value changed to `mrb_sym`.
* `mrb_debug_get_filename`: add `mrb_state*` as a first argument.
* `mrb_debug_get_line`: ditto.
I believe above functions are almost internal, and no third-party
mrbgem use them.
Functions to add prototypes to headers:
* mrb_ary_splice()
* mrb_notimplement()
* mrb_vformat()
* mrb_cstr_to_dbl()
* mrb_cstr_to_inum()
Functions to be made `static` (`MRB_API` was not needed):
* mrb_mod_module_function()
* mrb_obj_hash()
* mrb_str_len_to_inum()
Functions to remove `MRB_API` from definitions (referenced from within `libmruby`):
* mrb_mod_cv_defined()
* mrb_mod_cv_get()
* mrb_f_send()
We have added internal convenience method `__to_str` which
does string type check.
The issue #3854 was fixed but fundamental flaw of lack of stack
depth check along with fibers still remains. Use `MRB_GC_FIXED_ARENA`
for workaround.
