- changed VMValue to handle strings by reference.

This makes VMValue a real POD type with no hacky overloads and eliminates a lot of destructor code in all places that call a VM function. Due to the way this had to be handled, none of these destructors could be skipped because any value could have been a string.
This required some minor changes in functions that passed a temporary FString into the VM to ensure that the temporary object lives long enough to be handled. The code generator had already been changed to deal with this in a previous commit.
This is easily offset by the code savings and reduced maintenance needs elsewhere.
