29879a69a4 AK: Construct Strings from StringBuilder without re-allocating the data
Currently, invoking StringBuilder::to_string will re-allocate the string
data to construct the String. This is wasteful both in terms of memory
and speed.

The goal here is to simply hand the string buffer over to String, and
let String take ownership of that buffer. To do this, StringBuilder must
have the same memory layout as Detail::StringData. This layout is just
the members of the StringData class followed by the string itself.

So when a StringBuilder is created, we reserve sizeof(StringData) bytes
at the front of the buffer. StringData can then construct itself into
the buffer with placement new.

Things to note:
* StringData must now be aware of the actual capacity of its buffer, as
  that can be larger than the string size.
* We must take care not to pass ownership of inlined string buffers, as
  these live on the stack.

a88799c032 AK: Remove excessive hashing caused by FlyString table
Before this change, the global FlyString table looked like this:

    HashMap<StringView, Detail::StringBase>

After this change, we have:

    HashTable<Detail::StringData const*, FlyStringTableHashTraits>

The custom hash traits are used to extract the stored hash from
StringData which avoids having to rehash the StringView repeatedly like
we did before.

This necessitated a handful of smaller changes to make it work.

8bfad24708 AK: Move AK::Detail::StringData to its own header file
This will allow us to access it from FlyString.cpp

870a947040 AK: Remove StringInternals.h
Since we do not expose memory layout anymore in StringBase, there is no
need to keep StringData public.

fa52f68142 AK: Store data in FlyString as StringBase
Unfortunately, it is not clear to me how to split this commit into
several atomic ones.

54d149bc25 AK: Move String::bytes() and String::operator==(String) to StringBase
The idea is to eventually get rid of protected state in StringBase. To
do this, we first need to remove all references to m_data and
m_short_string from String.

4364a28d3d AK: Move data fields from AK::String to a newly created AK::StringBase
This starts separating memory management of string data and string
utilities like `String::formatted`. This would also allow to reuse the
same storage in `DeprecatedString` in the future.
