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:
$ xs=$(ack -l \bDeprecatedString\b\|deprecated_string AK Userland \
Meta Ports Ladybird Tests Kernel)
$ perl -pie 's/\bDeprecatedString\b/ByteString/g;
s/deprecated_string/byte_string/g' $xs
$ clang-format --style=file -i \
$(git diff --name-only | grep \.cpp\|\.h)
$ gn format $(git ls-files '*.gn' '*.gni')
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
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 :^)
This patch adds the `USING_AK_GLOBALLY` macro which is enabled by
default, but can be overridden by build flags.
This is a step towards integrating Jakt and AK types.
We had some inconsistencies before:
- Sometimes "The", sometimes "the"
- Sometimes trailing ".", sometimes no trailing "."
I picked the most common one (lowecase "the", trailing ".") and applied
it to all copyright headers.
By using the exact same string everywhere we can ensure nothing gets
missed during a global search (and replace), and that these
inconsistencies are not spread any further (as copyright headers are
commonly copied to new files).
SPDX License Identifiers are a more compact / standardized
way of representing file license information.

This was done with the `ambr` search and replace tool.
ambr --no-parent-ignore --key-from-file --rep-from-file key.txt rep.txt *
Wraps the existing AK::human_readable_size function but will always
display the bytes in the base unit as well as the shorter string with
one decimal. E.g. "14 KiB (14396 bytes)".
Arbitrarily split up to make git bisect easier.
These unnecessary #include's were found by combining an automated tool (which
determined likely candidates) and some brain power (which decided whether
the #include is also semantically superfluous).
In particular: consistent rounding and extreme values.
Before, rounding was something like 'away from 0.999...', which led to
surprising corner cases in which the value was rounded up.
Now, rounding is always 'down'.
This even works for 0xffffffff, and also for 0xffffffffffffffffULL on 64-bit.
Windows uses "KB", "MB", "GB" as powers of two.
macOS uses "kB", "MB", "GB" as powers of ten.
"k", "M", "G" are standard SI prefixes that normally refer to powers of
ten.
The IEC introduced "KiB", "MiB", "GiB" to unambiguously refer to
powers of two. It admittedly hasn't caught on that much, but it
does have the advantage that it's unabigious what it means.
So let's use it for user-visible sizes in SerenityOS.
(Linux does all of the above in different places, depending on app and
toolkit.)
Let's use the one in AK/NumberFormat.h everywhere.
It has slightly different behavior than some of the copies this
removes, but it's probably nice to have uniform human readable
size outputs across the system.
The SI prefixes "k", "M", "G" mean "10^3", "10^6", "10^9".
The IEC prefixes "Ki", "Mi", "Gi" mean "2^10", "2^20", "2^30".
Let's use the correct name, at least in code.
Only changes the name of the constants, no other behavior change.
