`String#+@` is 2-3 times faster than `String#dup` because it can
directly go through `rb_str_dup` instead of using the generic
much slower `rb_obj_dup`.

This fact led to the existance of the ugly `Performance/UnfreezeString`
rubocop performance rule that encourage users to rewrite the much
more readable and convenient `"foo".dup` into the ugly `(+"foo")`.

Let's make that rubocop rule useless.
