Change java_lang_String::print to take a raw String oop instead of a Handle to a String oop. This change makes java_lang_String::print callable from code that has no HandleMark setup. E.g. when calling from a debugger.
Comments
noreg-manual: attach with a debugger, find a String instance and then call java_lang_String::print(string, tty).
