Merged: [ptr-compr] Bump max string length to ~2**29

Without pointer compression, the max string length on 64-bit platforms
used to be 2**30 (minus header). With pointer-compression, this was
accidentally lowered to 2**28 (which is the historical limit for 32-bit
platforms). This CL bumps the limit on 64-bit platforms to 2**29, which
is the maximum we can support given that any heap object's size in bytes
must fit into a Smi (which are now 31-bit on all 64-bit platforms, with
or without pointer compression).
