The [UTF-8](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc3629#page-5)
standard says to reject strings with upper or lower surrogates. However,
in many standards, ECMAScript included, unpaired surrogates (and
therefore UTF-8 surrogates) are allowed in strings. So, this commit
extends the UTF-8 validation API with `AllowSurrogates`, which will
reject upper and lower surrogate characters.
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).
This commit is auto-generated:

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 :^)
It's very common to encounter single-character strings in JavaScript on
the web. We can make such strings significantly lighter by having a
1-character inline capacity on the Vectors.
The current method of iterating through the string to access a code
point hurts performance quite badly for very large strings. The test262
test "RegExp/property-escapes/generated/Any.js" previously took 3 hours
to complete; this one change brings it down to under 10 seconds.
To be used as a RegexStringView variant, Utf16View must provide a couple
more helper methods. It must also not default its assignment operators,
because that implicitly deletes move/copy constructors.
