This commit un-deprecates DeprecatedString, and repurposes it as a byte
string.
As the null state has already been removed, there are no other
particularly hairy blockers in repurposing this type as a byte string
(what it _really_ is).
This commit is auto-generated:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
We have a new, improved string type coming up in AK (OOM aware, no null
state), and while it's going to use UTF-8, the name UTF8String is a
mouthful - so let's free up the String name by renaming the existing
class.
Making the old one have an annoying name will hopefully also help with
quick adoption :^)
This implements the dladdr() function which lets the caller look up
the symbol name, symbol address as well as library name and library
base address for an arbitrary address.
This implements more of the dlfcn functionality. Most notably:
* It's now possible to dlopen() libraries which were already
loaded at program startup time. This does not cause those
libraries to be loaded twice.
* Errors are reported via dlerror() rather than by crashing
the program.
* Calls to the dl*() functions are thread-safe.

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
load_from_image() becomes map() and link(). This allows us to map
an object before mapping its dependencies.
This solves an issue where fixed-position executables (like GCC)
would clash with the ASLR placement of their own shared libraries.
Refactor DynamicLoader construction with a try_create() helper so that
we can call mmap() before making a loader. This way the loader doesn't
need to have an "mmap failed" state.
This patch also takes care of determining the ELF file size in
try_create() instead of expecting callers to provide it.
