Implement some micro-optimizations for Identifier. NFC

Details

Summary

Identifier doesn't maintain a length, so every time strref() is called,
it does a strlen. In the case of comparisons, this isn't necessary:
there is no need to scan a string to get its length, then rescan it to
do the comparison. Just done one comparison.

This also moves some assertions in Identifier::get as another
microoptimization for 'assertions enabled' modes.

Change to increase pedantic correctness.

Can you add the justification here?

I wonder if it would be better to just change Identifier to store a StringMapEntry* instead of the raw character buffer. That way strref should be O(1).

Add comments explaining 'why not memcmp?' to Identifier.h

I improved the comment in Identifier.h. It is a good idea to include a pointer to StringMapEntry. I'll take a look at that as a followup, thanks!
