The way we use classes like Kernel::KResultOr<T> and AK::Result<T, E>
makes checking for errors (and short-circuiting returns) quite verbose.
This patch adds a new TRY(expression) macro that either evaluates to
the released result of the expression if successful, or returns the
error if not.
Before:
auto foo_or_error = get_foo();
if (foo_or_error.is_error())
return foo_or_error.release_error();
auto foo = foo_or_error.release_value();
After:
auto foo = TRY(get_foo());
The macro uses a GNU C++ extension which is supported by GCC, Clang,
Intel C++, and possibly others. It's not *ideal*, but since it makes our
codebase considerably nicer, let's try(!) it out. :^)
