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:

The implemented cloning mechanism should be sound:
- If a PartitionTable is passed a File with
ShouldCloseFileDescriptor::Yes, then it will keep it alive until the
PartitionTable is destroyed.
- If a PartitionTable is passed a File with
ShouldCloseFileDescriptor::No, then the caller has to ensure that the
file descriptor remains alive.
If the caller is EBRPartitionTable, the same consideration holds.
If the caller is PartitionEditor::PartitionModel, this is satisfied by
keeping an OwnPtr<Core::File> around which is the originally opened
file.
Therefore, we never leak any fds, and never access a Core::File or fd
after destroying it.
The pattern to construct `Application` was to use the `try_create`
method from the `C_OBJECT` macro. While being safe from an OOM
perspective, this method doesn't propagate errors from the constructor.
This patch make `Application` use the `C_OBJECT_ABSTRACT` and manually
define a `create` method that can bubble up errors from the
construction stage.
This commit also removes the ability to use `argc` and `argv` to
create an `Application`, only `Main`'s `Arguments` can be used.
From a user point of view, the patch renames `try_create` => `create`,
hence the huge number of modified files.
Rip that bandaid off!
This does the following, in one big, awkward jump:
- Replace all uses of `set_main_widget<Foo>()` with the `try` version.
- Remove `set_main_widget<Foo>()`.
- Rename the `try` version to just be `set_main_widget` because it's now
the only one.
The majority of places that call `set_main_widget<Foo>()` are inside
constructors, so this unfortunately gives us a big batch of new
`release_value_but_fixme_should_propagate_errors()` calls.
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 :^)
Otherwise, we end up propagating those dependencies into targets that
link against that library, which creates unnecessary link-time
dependencies.
Also included are changes to readd now missing dependencies to tools
that actually need them.
We previously put the generated headers in SOURCES, which did not mark
them as GENERATED (and did not produce a proper dependency).
This commit moves all generated headers into GENERATED_SOURCES, and
removes useless header SOURCES.
Previously, end block was inconsistent. GUIDPartitionTable treated
end block as an inclusive bound, while MBRPartitionTable and
EBRPartitionTable treated end block as an exclusive bound.
Now all three treat end block as an inclusive upper bound.
This adds a new application PartitionEditor which will eventually be
used to create and edit partition tables. Since LibPartition does not
know how to write partition tables yet, it is currently read-only.
Devices are discovered by scanning /dev for block device files.
Since block devices are chmod 600, PartitionEditor be must run as root.
By default Serenity uses the entire disk for the ext2 filesystem
without a partition table. This isn't useful for testing as the
partition list for the default disk will be empty. To test properly,
I created a few disk images using various partitioning schemes
(MBR, EBR, and GPT) and attached them using the following command:
export SERENITY_EXTRA_QEMU_ARGS="
-drive file=/path/to/mbr.img,format=raw,index=1,media=disk
-drive file=/path/to/ebr.img,format=raw,index=2,media=disk
-drive file=/path/to/gpt.img,format=raw,index=3,media=disk"
