Summary

buildASTFromCodeWithArgs() was creating a memory buffer referencing a
stack-allocated string. This diff changes the implementation to copy the code
string into the memory buffer so that said buffer owns the memory.

Change buildAST functions to take a StringRef instead of a Twine.

In practice, code is almost never constructed on the fly using a Twine, so StringRef is simpler and avoids needing a copy when constructing the MemBuffer.

Change header correspondingly.

While we're here, can we change FileName and ToolName to StringRef too?

Alex, would you mind submitting this since I don't yet have submit privileges? I'll request them shortly, but I'd rather this go one in the meantime.
