Note: We keep locale parsing and syntactic validation as-is. ECMA-402
places additional restrictions on locales above what is required by the
Unicode spec. ICU doesn't provide methods that let us easily check those
restrictions, whereas LibLocale does. Other browsers also implement
their own validators here.
This introduces a locale cache to re-use parsed locale data and various
related structures (not doing so has a non-negligible performance impact
on Intl tests).
The existing APIs for canonicalization and display names are pretty
intertwined, so they must both be adapted at once here. The results of
canonicalization are slightly different on some edge cases. But the
changed results are actually now aligned with Chrome and Safari.
These APIs only perform small allocations, and are only used by LibJS.
Callers which could only have failed from these APIs are also made to
be infallible here.
In order to prevent this commit from having to refactor almost all of
Intl, the goal here is to update the internal parsing/canonicalization
of locales within LibLocale only. Call sites which are already equiped
to handle String and OOM errors do so, however.
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 :^)
