SyncPoint::Process thrashes heap ... fix it (#9023)

Summary:
The first parameter of SyncPoint::Process is "const std::string&".  The majority, maybe all, of the actual calls to this function use a "const char *".  The conversion before entering the function requires a construction of a std::string object on the heap.  This std::object is then typically not needed because first use of the string is a rocksdb::Slice which has a less costly conversion of char * to slice.

Example:

We have a load and iterate test.  The test loads 10m keys and iterates most via 10 rocksdb::Iterator objects.  We used TCMALLOC to gather information about allocation and space usage during iterators.

The "MergeValuesNewToOld (inline)" objects are the #define wrappers to SyncPoint::Process.  We discovered this in a 5.18 rocksdb release.  There TCMALLOC was more specific that std::basic_string was being constructed.  I believe that was before SyncPoint::Process was declared inline in subsequent releases.
