currently crashes with an assertion failure in `String::repeated` if
malloc can't serve a `count * input_size` sized request, so add
`String::repeated_with_error` to propagate the error.
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.
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.
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.
UTF8Decoder was already converting invalid data into replacement
characters while converting, so we know for sure we have valid UTF-8
by the time conversion is finished.
This patch adds a new StringBuilder::to_string_without_validation()
and uses it to make UTF8Decoder avoid half the work it was doing.
Instead of using a StringBuilder, add a String::repeated(String, N)
overload that takes advantage of knowing it's already all UTF-8.
This makes the following microbenchmark go 4x faster:
"foo".repeat(100_000_000)
And for single character strings, we can even go 10x faster:
"x".repeat(100_000_000)
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).

Now that ""_string is infallible, the only benefit of explicitly
constructing a short string is the ability to do it at compile-time. But
we never do that, so let's simplify the API and remove this
implementation detail from it.

We need to disable consteval in AK::String as well as AK::StringView,
and we need to disable it when building both the tools build and the
fuzzer build.
Calling `from_utf8` with a DeprecatedString will hide the fact that we
have a DeprecatedString, while using `from_deprecated_string` with a
StringView will silently and needlessly allocate a DeprecatedString,
so let's forbid that.
We currently fully casefold the left- and right-hand sides to compare
two strings with case-insensitivity. Now, we casefold one code point at
a time, storing the result in a view for comparison, until we exhaust
both strings.
We briefly discussed this when adding the new String type but couldn't
settle on a name. However, having to use String::from_utf8() on every
literal string is a bit unwieldy, so let's have these options available!
Naming-wise '_string' is not as short as 'sv' but should be relatively
clear; it also matches '_bigint' and '_ubigint' in length.
'_short_string' may be longer than the actual string itself, but it's
still an improvement over the static function :^)
Since our C++ source files are UTF-8 encoded anyway, it should be
impossible to create a string literal with invalid UTF-8, so including
that in the name is not as important as in the function that can receive
arbitrary data.
