Object.assign(target, "string") drops the string's indexed characters #94

Description

@RealColdFry

Repro:

const x = Object.assign({3: 'd'}, "abc");
return [x[0], x[1], x[2], x[3]];

Expected: ["a", "b", "c", "d"]
Actual: [nil, nil, nil, "d"]

Per ECMA-262 sec-object.assign, each source is passed through ToObject; for a primitive string, that yields a String wrapper whose own enumerable keys are the indexed characters "0" -> "a", "1" -> "b", etc. Our lualib helper __TS__ObjectAssign (extern/tstl/src/lualib/ObjectAssign.ts) guards with if (type(source) === "table") and silently skips everything else. Fork commit c3b3a8b added that guard to prevent a crash on false/nil (the { ...(cond && obj) } pattern) but did not add the string-wrapper path.

Fix: in __TS__ObjectAssign, handle type(source) === "string" by iterating its bytes/characters and writing each under its integer index.
