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 patch adds two macros to declare per-type allocators:
- JS_DECLARE_ALLOCATOR(TypeName)
- JS_DEFINE_ALLOCATOR(TypeName)
When used, they add a type-specific CellAllocator that the Heap will
delegate allocation requests to.
The result of this is that GC objects of the same type always end up
within the same HeapBlock, drastically reducing the ability to perform
type confusion attacks.
It also improves HeapBlock utilization, since each block now has cells
sized exactly to the type used within that block. (Previously we only
had a handful of block sizes available, and most GC allocations ended
up with a large amount of slack in their tails.)
There is a small performance hit from this, but I'm sure we can make
up for it elsewhere.
Note that the old size-based allocators still exist, and we fall back
to them for any type that doesn't have its own CellAllocator.
This patch updates various parts of the script fetching implementation
to match the current specification.
Notably, the implementation of changes to the import assertions /
attributes proposal are not part of this patch(series).
DeprecatedFlyString relies heavily on DeprecatedString's StringImpl, so
let's rename it to A) match the name of DeprecatedString, B) write a new
FlyString class that is tied to String.
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 :^)
The environment settings object is effectively the context a piece of
script is running under, for example, it contains the origin,
responsible document, realm, global object and event loop for the
current context. This effectively replaces ScriptExecutionContext, but
it cannot be removed in this commit as EventTarget still depends on it.
