1. `$/` and other Perl-ish global variables are not defined in ISO.
2. The current Ruby policy do not encourage those variables.
3. Those variables has global effect and can cause troubles.
`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.
- I think "Info" is used only to `skip`, so change to "Skip".
- Changed the default value of `assert` and specify the argument explicitly
at the caller of `assert` because it is unnatural "Assertion failed" is
output even though the assertion doesn't fail.
== Example:
def assert_foo(exp, act)
assert do
assert_equal exp[0], act[0]
assert_equal exp[1], act[1]
end
end
def assert_bar(exp, act)
assert do
skip
end
end
def assert_baz(exp, act)
assert do
assert_equal exp, act
assert_bar exp, act
end
end
assert 'test#skip_in_nested_assert' do
assert_baz 1, 1
end

Because it always allocate new string. Replace with the followings:
- Use `RSRING_PTR` if string is guaranteed to be null-terminated.
- Use `mrb_string_value_cstr` or `mrb_get_args("z")` if return value isn't
modified.
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.
