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.
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.

Previously Profiler was using timestamps to distinguish processes.
However it is possible that separate processes with the same PID exist
at the exact same timestamp (e.g. for execve). This changes Profiler
to use unique serial numbers for each event instead.
We can lose profiling timer events for a few reasons, for example
disabled interrupts or system slowness. This accounts for lost
time between CPU samples by adding a field lost_samples to each
profiling event which tracks how many samples were lost immediately
preceding the event.
This turns the perfcore format into more a log than it was before,
which lets us properly log process, thread and region
creation/destruction. This also makes it unnecessary to dump the
process' regions every time it is scheduled like we did before.
Incidentally this also fixes 'profile -c' because we previously ended
up incorrectly dumping the parent's region map into the profile data.
Log-based mmap support enables profiling shared libraries which
are loaded at runtime, e.g. via dlopen().
This enables profiling both the parent and child process for
programs which use execve(). Previously we'd discard the profiling
data for the old process.
The Profiler tool has been updated to not treat thread IDs as
process IDs anymore. This enables support for processes with more
than one thread. Also, there's a new widget to filter which
process should be displayed.

The perfcore file format was previously limited to a single process
since the pid/executable/regions data was top-level in the JSON.
This patch moves the process-specific data into a top-level array
named "processes" and we now add entries for each process that has
been sampled during the profile run.
This makes it possible to see samples from multiple threads when
viewing a perfcore file with Profiler. This is extremely cool! :^)
You can now view the individual samples in a profile one by one with
the new "Samples" view. The "old" main view moves into a "Call Tree"
tab (but it remains the default view.)
When you select a sample in the samples view, we show you the full
symbolicated backtrace in a separate view on the right hand side. :^)
