The buffer deduplication codepath in rb_fstring can be used to free the buffer
of shared string roots, which leads to use-after-free.
Introudce a new flag to tag strings that at one point have been a shared root.
Check for it in rb_fstring to avoid freeing buffers that are shared by
multiple strings. This change is based on nobu's idea in [ruby-core:94838].
The included test case test for the sequence of calls to internal functions
that lead to this bug. See attached ticket for Ruby level repros.
