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 :^)
To support editing of large files it is an advantage to not load the
entire file into memory but only load whatever is needed for display at
the moment. To make it work, file access is abstracted into a socalled
HexDocument, of which there two: a memory based and a file based one.
The former can be used for newly created documents, the latter for file
based editing.
Hex documents now do track changes instead of the HexEditor. HexEditor
only sets new values. This frees HexEditor of some responsibility.
Most of the models were just calling did_update anyway, which is
pointless since it can be unified to the base Model class. Instead, code
calling update() will now call invalidate(), which functions identically
and is more obvious in what it does.
Additionally, a default implementation is provided, which removes the
need to add empty implementations of update() for each model subclass.
