[Vm-dev] [OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm] primitiveTranslateStringWithTable modifies symbols in place, it should be reserved for non-literal strings only (#561)

[fmateoc]

After making sure a string was not interned, ( "Symbol findInterned: 'test123'" returned nil ), I did

 | s | s := #TEST123.
 s translateToLowercase.
 s -> (Symbol findInterned: s)

and the resulting s is a Symbol and it is not interned.
To make sure that the primitive is invoked (and not its fallback code), put a halt in ByteString class >> #translate:from:to:table:
