Optimize unpackCString# to allocate less.wip/unpackString

unpackCString# is a recursive function which for each iteration
returns a Cons cell containing the current Char, and a thunk for
unpacking the rest of the string.

In this patch we change from storing addr + offset inside this thunk
to storing only the addr, simply incrementing the address on each
iteration.

This saves one word of allocation per unpacked character.
For a program like "main = print "<largishString>" this amounts
to 2-3% fewer % in bytes allocated.

I also removed the now redundant local unpack definitions.
This removes one call per unpack operation.
