`JsonValue::to_byte_string` has peculiar type-erasure semantics which is
not usually intended. Unfortunately, it also has a very stereotypical
name which does not warn about unexpected behavior. So let's prefix it
with `deprecated_` to make new code use `as_string` if it just wants to
get string value or `serialized<StringBuilder>` if it needs to do proper
serialization.
In a bunch of cases, this actually ends up simplifying the code as
to_number will handle something such as:
```
Optional<I> opt;
if constexpr (IsSigned<I>)
opt = view.to_int<I>();
else
opt = view.to_uint<I>();
```
For us.
The main goal here however is to have a single generic number conversion
API between all of the String classes.
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 replaces the bespoke rendering engine in Presenter with a
simple pipeline that turns presentations into single-page HTML files.
The HTML is then loaded into an OutOfProcessWebView.
This achieves a number of things, most importantly:
- Access to all the CSS features supported by LibWeb
- Sandboxed, multi-process rendering
The code could be simplified a lot further, but I wanted to get the new
architecture in place without changing anything about the file format.
The Presentation::title() and Presentation::author() functions return a
StringView to the title/author defined in the json file or a default
value. Previously, this would return a StringView to already-freed
memory and crash the application when setting the window title. This
commit fixes that issue :^)
Note that this still keeps the old behaviour of putting things in std by
default on serenity so the tools can be happy, but if USING_AK_GLOBALLY
is unset, AK behaves like a good citizen and doesn't try to put things
in the ::std namespace.
std::nothrow_t and its friends get to stay because I'm being told that
compilers assume things about them and I can't yeet them into a
different namespace...for now.
This generally seems like a better name, especially if we somehow also
need a better name for "read the entire buffer, but not the entire file"
somewhere down the line.
This will make it easier to support both string types at the same time
while we convert code, and tracking down remaining uses.
One big exception is Value::to_string() in LibJS, where the name is
dictated by the ToString AO.
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 version can already:
- load all of the defined file format except for the image type and the
frame-specific stuff
- navigate frames and slides (though frames are mostly stubbed out)
- display text with various common settings
- displays text with various fitting and scaling methods
- scale and position objects correctly no matter the window size
