(#6758) Pass options as an argument to string actions.

Earlier in their implementation the String prototype would set global state on
a String object to reflect options set on the command line.  As we move
strings away from a CLI-only prototype, this becomes troublesome because we
can easily have, for example, HTTP access to a string, which means load
balancers can really make this confusing.

It also encourages global state pollution, where one invocation can adversely
influence another.  A better approach is that we pass options to the string
action invocation directly; this makes the interaction stateless.

Changes required to your code to adapt to the new world:

-    action(:foo) do |some, args|
+    action(:foo) do |some, args, options={}|
       if options[:whatever] then
