    Free string memory via a string destructor · 5a680f65

    Also, register string memory as additional GC pressure.
    The subprocess module repeatedly allocates a 1MB str as a buffer
    for reading from file descriptors.  The first issue was that we would
    never free this memory; but even once we would, we wouldn't trigger a GC
    since there were only small GC allocations (sizeof(BoxedString) at a time)
    but with large other memory pressure, so add a hook for adding GC pressure.
