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 :^)
Otherwise, we end up propagating those dependencies into targets that
link against that library, which creates unnecessary link-time
dependencies.
Also included are changes to readd now missing dependencies to tools
that actually need them.
Monte-Carlo methods are known to intensively create nodes and in our
case each leaf of the tree stores a board. However, for this use case,
we don't need a full board object that also contains game information.
This patch adds a `clone_cleared()` method that return a clone without
game information and uses it when constructing the tree.
It allows the ChessEngine much more possibility before getting out of
memory.
This method temperate the habit of Monte-Carlo based algorithms to
repeatedly create new nodes.
It was first implemented in `Efficient Selectivity and Backup Operators
in Monte-Carlo Tree Search` by Rémi Coulom.
Each of these strings would previously rely on StringView's char const*
constructor overload, which would call __builtin_strlen on the string.
Since we now have operator ""sv, we can replace these with much simpler
versions. This opens the door to being able to remove
StringView(char const*).
No functional changes.
Derivatives of Core::Object should be constructed through
ClassName::construct(), to avoid handling ref-counted objects with
refcount zero. Fixing the visibility means that misuses like this are
more difficult.
GCC likely has a builtin intrinsic that evaluates the operation at
compile-time, even if the `LibM` is not declared as constexpr. Clang,
however, does not like it, and it failed to compile this code.
Since applications using Core::EventLoop no longer need to create a
socket in /tmp/rpc/, and also don't need to listen for incoming
connections on this socket, we can remove a whole bunch of pledges!
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.

(...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.
Now that WindowServer broadcasts the system theme using an anonymous
file, we need clients to pledge "recvfd" so they can receive it.
Some programs keep the "shared_buffer" pledge since it's still used for
a handful of things.
