This feature allows any application to easily install an automatically
updating list of recently open files in a GUI::Menu.
There are three main pieces to this mechanism:
- GUI::Application::set_config_domain(domain): This must be called
before using the recent files feature. It informs the Application
object about which config domain to find the relevant RecentFiles
list under.
- GUI::Menu::add_recently_open_files(callback): This inserts the list
in a menu. A callback must be provided to handle actually opening
the recent file in some application-specific way.
- GUI::Application::set_most_recently_open_file(path): This updates
the list of recently open files, both in the configuration files,
and in the GUI menu.
This patch adds a visibility state to GUI::Action. All actions default
to being visible. When invisible, they do not show up in toolbars on
menus (and importantly, they don't occupy any space).
This can be used to hide/show context-sensitive actions dynamically
without rebuilding menus and toolbars.
Thanks to Tim Slater for assuming that action visibility was a thing,
which gave me a reason to implement it! :^)
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
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 :^)
Instead of letting buttons determine the relative position
of their menus, a workaround only used by Statusbar segments,
open them all uniformly for a nice, consistent UI.
Passing a rect to popup() now routes to open_button_menu(), an
analog to open_menubar_menu(), which adjusts the menu's popup
position in the same way. Fixes button menus obscuring the buttons
which spawn them and jutting out at odd corners depending on screen
position.
In order to avoid having multiple instances, we were keeping a pointer
to these singleton objects and only allocating them when it was null.
We have `__cxa_guard_{acquire,release}` in the userland, so there's no
need to do this dance, as the compiler will ensure that the constructors
are only called once.
Currently, any number of menubars can be plugged in and out of a window.
This is unnecessary complexity, since we only need one menubar on a
window. This commit removes most of the logic for dynamically attaching
and detaching menubars and makes one menubar always available. The
menubar is only considered existent if it has at least a single menu in
it (in other words, an empty menubar will not be shown).
This commit additionally fixes a bug wherein menus added after a menubar
has been attached would not have their rects properly setup, and would
therefore appear glitched out on the top left corner of the menubar.
This was only synchronous since WindowServer managed the ID allocation.
Doing this on the client side instead allows us to make create_menu()
an asynchronous IPC call, removing a bunch of IPC stalls during
application startup.
Creating a menu/menubar needs to be synchronous because we need the
ID from the response, but adding stuff *to* menus (and adding menus
to menubars, and menubars to windows) can all be asynchronous.
This dramatically reduces the amount of IPC ping-pong played by
each GUI application during startup.
I measured how long it takes TextEditor to enter the main event loop
and it's over 10% faster here. (Down from ~86ms to ~74ms)
This changes client methods so that they return the IPC response's
return value directly - instead of the response struct - for IPC
methods which only have a single return value.

(...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.
