Not a single client of this API actually used the event mask feature to
listen for readability AND writability.
Let's simplify the API and have only one hook: on_activation.
Similar to POSIX read, the basic read and write functions of AK::Stream
do not have a lower limit of how much data they read or write (apart
from "none at all").
Rename the functions to "read some [data]" and "write some [data]" (with
"data" being omitted, since everything here is reading and writing data)
to make them sufficiently distinct from the functions that ensure to
use the entire buffer (which should be the go-to function for most
usages).
No functional changes, just a lot of new FIXMEs.
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 :^)
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.
A mistake I've repeatedly made is along these lines:
```c++
auto nread = TRY(source_file->read(buffer));
TRY(destination_file->write(buffer));
```
It's a little clunky to have to create a Bytes or StringView from the
buffer's data pointer and the nread, and easy to forget and just use
the buffer. So, this patch changes the read() function to return a
Bytes of the data that were just read.
The other read_foo() methods will be modified in the same way in
subsequent commits.
Fixes#13687
Apologies for the enormous commit, but I don't see a way to split this
up nicely. In the vast majority of cases it's a simple change. A few
extra places can use TRY instead of manual error checking though. :^)
As per previous discussion, it was decided that the Stream classes
should be constructed on the heap.
While I don't personally agree with this change, it does have the
benefit of avoiding Function object reconstructions due to the lambda
passed to Notifier pointing to a stale object reference. This also has
the benefit of not having to "box" objects for virtual usage, as the
objects come pre-boxed.
However, it means that we now hit the heap everytime we construct a
TCPSocket for instance, which might not be desirable.

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
