fc86460134 AK: Move the userspace SharedBuffer from LibC to AK
This always felt out-of-place in LibC.

272d65e3e2 WindowServer: Port to the new IPC system
This patch introduces code generation for the WindowServer IPC with
its clients. The client/server endpoints are defined by the two .ipc
files in Servers/WindowServer/: WindowServer.ipc and WindowClient.ipc

It now becomes significantly easier to add features and capabilities
to WindowServer since you don't have to know nearly as much about all
the intricate paths that IPC messages take between LibGUI and WSWindow.

The new system also uses significantly less IPC bandwidth since we're
now doing packed serialization instead of passing fixed-sized structs
of ~600 bytes for each message.

Some repaint coalescing optimizations are lost in this conversion and
we'll need to look at how to implement those in the new world.

The old CoreIPC::Client::Connection and CoreIPC::Server::Connection
classes are removed by this patch and replaced by use of ConnectionNG,
which will be renamed eventually.

Goodbye, old WindowServer IPC. You served us well :^)

8a024a3305 LibGUI: Rename GEventLoop.{cpp,h} => GWindowServerConnection
The GEventLoop class is long gone, and the only class in these files is
GWindowServerConnection, so let's update the file names. :^)

c543ee5c5b WindowServer+LibGUI: Store a "data type" with the clipboard content
This will allow us to distinguish between different types of data
stored on the clipboard.

b907608e46 SharedBuffer: Split the creation and share steps
This allows us to seal a buffer *before* anyone else has access to it
(well, ok, the creating process still does, but you can't win them all).

It also means that a SharedBuffer can be shared with multiple clients:
all you need is to have access to it to share it on again.

7a53096e8d LibGUI: Revert GWindowServerConnection to being a singleton
This was a mistake, of course. Nested event loops don't need (or want)
independent server connections.

We initialize the connection early in GEventLoop for e.g. users that
want to get the size of a GDesktop before the connection has been
established.

Bug noticed by Andreas, introduced by me ;-)

2177594c96 Port LibGUI to use CIPCClientSideConnection
As a consequence, move to use an explicit handshake() method rather than
calling virtuals from the constructor. This seemed to not bother
AClientConnection, but LibGUI crashes (rightfully) because of it.

0e75aba7c3 StringView: Rename characters() to characters_without_null_termination().
This should make you think twice before trying to use the const char* from
a StringView as if it's a null-terminated string.

04b9dc2d30 Libraries: Create top level directory for libraries.
Things were getting a little crowded in the project root, so this patch
moves the Lib*/ directories into Libraries/.
