A handy method to construct a string out of multiple chunks.
Contrary to String#concat, it doesn't do any encoding negociation,
and simply append the content as bytes regardless of whether this
result in a broken string or not.
It's the caller responsibility to check for String#valid_encoding?
in cases where it's needed.
When passed integers, only the lower byte is considered, like in String#setbyte.
