During chasing the GC bugs one of my patches turned off DOD/GC in string_transcode (which is called from e.g string_compare).
There is no need to keep this as the GC issues seem to be solved now.
I did apply this during #18097.
So the current behaviour matches at least the comments in e.g. hash.c, i.e. string_compare may cause GC and may invalidate pointers into the string like string->strstart.
