- add AtomicReferenceFieldUpdater-type constant for stringCache initialization

Hi Brian,

By using volatile read and CAS, there's still a chance that multiple concurrent threads will be invoking the layoutChars(true) concurrently, but you guarantee that only a single instance of String will ever be returned as a result of the toString() method. Is that what you were pursuing?

Regards, Peter
