This URL library ends up being a relatively fundamental base library of
the system, as LibCore depends on LibURL.
This change has two main benefits:
* Moving AK back more towards being an agnostic library that can
be used between the kernel and userspace. URL has never really fit
that description - and is not used in the kernel.
* URL _should_ depend on LibUnicode, as it needs punnycode support.
However, it's not really possible to do this inside of AK as it can't
depend on any external library. This change brings us a little closer
to being able to do that, but unfortunately we aren't there quite
yet, as the code generators depend on LibCore.
This commit introduces a WEB_SET_PROTOTYPE_FOR_INTERFACE macro that
caches the interface name in a local static FlyString. This means that
we only pay for FlyString-from-literal lookup once per browser lifetime
instead of every time the interface is instantiated.
Along with putting functions in the URL namespace into a DOMURL
namespace.
This is done as LibWeb is in an awkward situation where it needs
two URL classes. AK::URL is the general purpose URL class which
is all that is needed in 95% of cases. URL in the Web namespace
is needed predominantly for interfacing with the javascript
interfaces.
Because of two URLs in the same namespace, AK::URL has had to be
used throughout LibWeb. If we move AK::URL into a URL namespace,
this becomes more painful - where ::URL::URL is required to
specify the constructor (and something like
::URL::create_with_url_or_path in other places).
To fix this problem - rename the class in LibWeb implementing the
URL IDL interface to DOMURL, along with moving the other Web URL
related classes into this DOMURL folder.
One could argue that this name also makes the situation a little
more clear in LibWeb for why these two URL classes need be used
in the first place.
