I was puzzled by why the dictionary words were sorted by length.
It was because TextSplitter sorted its parameter, instead of a copy.
This doesn't affect encoding size, but does affect the encoding NUMBER
of the found words. We'll deliberately restore sorting by length next,
for other reasons, but not by spooky action.
Try to accurately measure the costs of including a word in the dictionary
vs the gains from using it in messages.
This saves about 160 bytes on trinket_m0 ja, the fullest translation
for that board. Other translations on the same board all have savings,
ranging from 24 to 228 bytes.

By comparing the address of the initial 'name' field instead of the
addresses of the objects themselves, a small amount of type safety is
added back, vs just casting to void.
In the event that some other kind of object is passed in as 't',
which happens to have a 'name' field of the right type, the construct
would be (undesirably) accepted but it would almost certainly evaluate
to false at runtime.
Prior to this commit, cache flushing for ARM native code was done only in
the assembler code asm_thumb_end_pass()/asm_arm_end_pass(), at the last
pass of the assembler. But this misses flushing the cache when loading
native code from an .mpy file, ie in persistentcode.c.
The change here makes sure the cache is always flushed/cleaned/invalidated
when assigning native code on ARM architectures.
This problem was found running tests/micropython/import_mpy_native_gc.py on
the mimxrt port.
