switch to only 2 states for altrep strings: materialized and not materialized (similar to the int and double). Elt() no longer forces initialisation of data2 with a hybrid vector full of NULLs. The materialized (`data2`) is only generated when needed (by `DATAPTR()`). This is safer than having the possibility of a STRSXP with NULLs. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
