	Get rid of indirect sharing

	* string.c (str_duplicate): share the root shared string if the
	  original string is already sharing, so that all shared strings
	  refer the root shared string directly.  indirect sharing can
	  cause a dangling pointer.

	str_duplicate: Don't share with a frozen shared string

	This is a follow up for 3f9562015e651735bfc2fdd14e8f6963b673e22a.
	Before this commit, it was possible to create a shared string which
	shares with another shared string by passing a frozen shared string
	to `str_duplicate`.

	Such string looks like:

	```
	 --------                    -----------------
	 | root | ------ owns -----> | root's buffer |
	 --------                    -----------------
	     ^                             ^   ^
	 -----------                       |   |
	 | shared1 | ------ references -----   |
	 -----------                           |
	     ^                                 |
	 -----------                           |
	 | shared2 | ------ references ---------
	 -----------
	```

	This is bad news because `rb_fstring(shared2)` can make `shared1`
	independent, which severs the reference from `shared1` to `root`:

	```c
	/* from fstr_update_callback() */
	str = str_new_frozen(rb_cString, shared2);  /* can return shared1 */
	if (STR_SHARED_P(str)) { /* shared1 is also a shared string */
	    str_make_independent(str);  /* no frozen check */
	}
	```

	If `shared1` was the only reference to `root`, then `root` can be
	reclaimed by the GC, leaving `shared2` in a corrupted state:

	```
	 -----------                         --------------------
	 | shared1 | -------- owns --------> | shared1's buffer |
	 -----------                         --------------------
	      ^
	      |
	 -----------                         -------------------------
	 | shared2 | ------ references ----> | root's buffer (freed) |
	 -----------                         -------------------------
	```

	Here is a reproduction script for the situation this commit fixes.

	```ruby
	a = ('a' * 24).strip.freeze.strip
	-a
	p a
	4.times { GC.start }
	p a
	```

	 - string.c (str_duplicate): always share with the root string when
	   the original is a shared string.
	 - test_rb_str_dup.rb: specifically test `rb_str_dup` to make
	   sure it does not try to share with a shared string.
