We currently bundle AK with LibCore on Lagom. This means that to use AK,
all libraries must also depend on LibCore. This will create circular
dependencies when we create LibURL, as LibURL will depend on LibUnicode,
which will depend on LibCore, which will depend on LibURL.
Instead of spawning these processes from the WebContent process, we now
create them in the Browser chrome.
Part 1/N of "all processes are owned by the chrome".
These IPCs are different than other IPCs in that we can't just set up a
callback function to be invoked when WebContent sends us the screenshot
data. There are multiple places that would set that callback, and they
would step on each other's toes.
Instead, the screenshot APIs on ViewImplementation now return a Promise
which callers can interact with to receive the screenshot (or an error).
According to Qt documentation, destruction of a QObject's children may
happen in any order. In our case, the Tab's WebContentView is deleted
before its InspectorWidget. The InspectorWidget performs cleanup on that
WebContentView in its destructor; this causes use-after-free since it
has already been destroyed.
From reading Qt threads, if a particular destruction order is required,
it is okay to enforce that order with manual `delete`s. This patch does
so with the InspectorWidget to ensure it is deleted before the
WebContentView. Qt's object ownership is okay with this - it will remove
the InspectorWidget from the Tab's children, preventing any double
deletion.
With this change, chrome no longer has to ask the WebContent process
to paint the next frame into a specified bitmap. Instead, it allocates
bitmaps and sends them to WebContent, which then lets chrome know when
the painting is done.
This work is a preparation to move the execution of painting commands
into a separate thread. Now, it is much easier to start working on the
next frame while the current one is still rendering. This is because
WebContent does not have to inform chrome that the current frame is
ready before it can request the next frame.
Additionally, as a side bonus, we can now eliminate the
did_invalidate_content_rect and did_change_selection IPC calls. These
were used solely for the purpose of informing chrome that it needed to
request a repaint.
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).

If the Inspector widget already exists, be sure to inspect the page when
it is re-opened. However, this should be a no-op if the page was already
inspected (as any existing Inspector will be reset if a new page load
began).
Note this is not an issue in the AppKit chrome.
It was a bit short-sighted to combine the tag and attribute names into
one string when the Inspector requests a context menu. We will want both
values for some context menu actions. Send both names, as well as the
attribute value, when requesting the context menu.
Pages like the new tab page, error page, etc. all belong solely to
Ladybird, but are scattered across a couple of subfolders in Base. This
moves them all to Base/res/ladybird.
