Brian Gianforcaro d838a02e74 Kernel: Add KString::must_{..} factory methods
There are a bunch of places like drivers which for all intense and
purposes can't really fail allocation during boot, and if they do
fail we should crash immediately.

This change adds `KString::must_create_uninitialized(..)` as well as
`KString::must_create(..)` for use during early boot initialization of
the Kernel. They enforce that they are only used during early boot.

SerenityOS

Graphical Unix-like operating system for x86 computers.

About

SerenityOS is a love letter to '90s user interfaces with a custom Unix-like core. It flatters with sincerity by stealing beautiful ideas from various other systems.

Roughly speaking, the goal is a marriage between the aesthetic of late-1990s productivity software and the power-user accessibility of late-2000s *nix. This is a system by us, for us, based on the things we like.

I (Andreas) regularly post raw hacking sessions and demos on my YouTube channel.

Sometimes I write about the system on my github.io blog.

I'm also on Patreon and GitHub Sponsors if you would like to show some support that way.
