This URL library ends up being a relatively fundamental base library of
the system, as LibCore depends on LibURL.
This change has two main benefits:
* Moving AK back more towards being an agnostic library that can
be used between the kernel and userspace. URL has never really fit
that description - and is not used in the kernel.
* URL _should_ depend on LibUnicode, as it needs punnycode support.
However, it's not really possible to do this inside of AK as it can't
depend on any external library. This change brings us a little closer
to being able to do that, but unfortunately we aren't there quite
yet, as the code generators depend on LibCore.
Ideal for applications such as PartitionEditor. Previously an error
about how it needs to run as root was displayed which differed from
the behaviour when clicking from the system menus.

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).

A BinaryHeap is now used to keep track of the 6 highest scoring files.
This ensures that a FileResult is not created for a result that will
never be displayed.
This class had slightly confusing semantics and the added weirdness
doesn't seem worth it just so we can say "." instead of "->" when
iterating over a vector of NNRPs.
This patch replaces NonnullRefPtrVector<T> with Vector<NNRP<T>>.
Previously, results were cached for each query in a single list.
The majority of CPU time was spent determining which items in the
cache had been seen previously. This commit removes the need to
check previous results by holding a separate list of results for each
provider type.
This makes Assistant feel much more responsive to user input,
especially when the filesystem has a lot of files.
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 gives search results a more tactile look and feel, consistent
with other iconified widgets across the system. Custom provider
subtitles now appear as tooltips.
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.
Result classes now return their bitmap via a virtual Gfx::Bitmap*
getter. This effectively makes bitmap fetching lazier, since only
results that end up on screen actually get asked for their bitmap.
This drastically reduces the amount of work done by the FileProvider
background worker.
When searching in Assistant, we now dispatch some background jobs to
query the whole filesystem. Activating a result will use the Desktop
launcher's default way of opening that file or directory.
