Asger F bf9d7484e4 JS: Use StringBuilder when building up type name
This code was a bit of a performance cringe. It copied every character
into a temporary array, copied that into a String, and slow-appended
that onto another String.

Note that the call to Characters.toChars is redundant here as advance()
doesn't return a code point; it returns -1 or a UTF-16 char. The -1 case
is checked for before reaching the call, so we can just cast it to
a char and use it directly.

We use a StringBuilder to accumulate the string. Normally it's faster
to track the start/end indices and do a substring(), but that won't
work in the JSDoc extractor because of the star-skipping logic in
advance().
