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).

This patch adds a visibility state to GUI::Action. All actions default
to being visible. When invisible, they do not show up in toolbars on
menus (and importantly, they don't occupy any space).
This can be used to hide/show context-sensitive actions dynamically
without rebuilding menus and toolbars.
Thanks to Tim Slater for assuming that action visibility was a thing,
which gave me a reason to implement it! :^)
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 :^)
Instead of letting buttons determine the relative position
of their menus, a workaround only used by Statusbar segments,
open them all uniformly for a nice, consistent UI.
Passing a rect to popup() now routes to open_button_menu(), an
analog to open_menubar_menu(), which adjusts the menu's popup
position in the same way. Fixes button menus obscuring the buttons
which spawn them and jutting out at odd corners depending on screen
position.
Derivatives of Core::Object should be constructed through
ClassName::construct(), to avoid handling ref-counted objects with
refcount zero. Fixing the visibility means that misuses like this are
more difficult.
Currently, any number of menubars can be plugged in and out of a window.
This is unnecessary complexity, since we only need one menubar on a
window. This commit removes most of the logic for dynamically attaching
and detaching menubars and makes one menubar always available. The
menubar is only considered existent if it has at least a single menu in
it (in other words, an empty menubar will not be shown).
This commit additionally fixes a bug wherein menus added after a menubar
has been attached would not have their rects properly setup, and would
therefore appear glitched out on the top left corner of the menubar.
We only need to re-draw the item being selected and the item being
deselected. We also don't care anymore if applets were added or
removed as we no longer have a global menu bar.
The menus always thought they were being outside of the main screen,
which caused them to be left and/or top aligned. This also fixes the
calculation of the available space by using the screen rectangle where
it will be displayed.

We now send out MenuItemEntered and MenuItemLeft messages to the client
when the user hovers/unhovers menu items.
On the client side, these become GUI::ActionEvent, with one of two
types: ActionEnter or ActionLeave. They are sent to the Application.
This will allow GUI applications to react to these events.
We were writing to the currently hovered menu item index in a bunch
of places, which made it very confusing to follow how it changes.
Rename Menu::set_hovered_item() to set_hovered_index() and use it
in more places instead of manipulating m_hovered_item_index.
I hereby declare these to be full nouns that we don't split,
neither by space, nor by underscore:
- Breadcrumbbar
- Coolbar
- Menubar
- Progressbar
- Scrollbar
- Statusbar
- Taskbar
- Toolbar
This patch makes everything consistent by replacing every other variant
of these with the proper one. :^)
Menu items can now also have Alt shortcut, and they work the same way
top-level menu Alt shortcuts do. This replaces the previous "type to
search" mechanism we had in menus.
This patch adds support for opening menus via keyboard shortcuts.
Use an ampersand in a menu name to automatically create a keyboard
shortcut (Alt + the character following the ampersand.)
Menus with an Alt shortcut have a small underline under the shortcut
character for discoverability.
We kept a backpointer from the Menu to its containing MenuBar, but it
was not used for anything so let's remove it.
Since all menus have the same font now, there's no need to track a
separate "title font".
This patch begins the transition away from the global menu towards
per-window menus instead.
The global menu looks neat, but has always felt clunky, and there
are a number of usability problems with it, especially in programs
with multiple windows.
You can now call GUI::Window::set_menubar() to add a menubar to
your window. It will be specific to that one window only.
