Log Message:
        * generic/tclStringObj.c:       Revisions so that we avoid creating
        the strange representation of an empty string with
        objPtr->bytes == NULL and stringPtr->hasUnicode == 0.  Instead in
        the situations where that was being created, create a traditional
        two-legged stork representation (objPtr->bytes = tclEmptyStringRep
        and stringPtr->hasUnicode = 1).  In the situations where the strange
        rep was treated differently, continue to do so by testing
        stringPtr->numChars == 0 to detect it.  These changes make the code
        more conventional so easier for new maintainers to pick up.  Also
        sets up further simplifications.
