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).

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 :^)
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"
