b23aa38546 AK: Adopt mimalloc v2 as main allocator
Use mimalloc for Ladybird-owned allocations without overriding malloc().
Route kmalloc(), kcalloc(), krealloc(), and kfree() through mimalloc,
and put the embedded Rust crates on the same allocator via a shared
shim in AK/kmalloc.cpp.

This also lets us drop kfree_sized(), since it no longer used its size
argument. StringData, Utf16StringData, JS object storage, Rust error
strings, and the CoreAudio playback helpers can all free their AK-backed
storage with plain kfree().

Sanitizer builds still use the system allocator. LeakSanitizer does not
reliably trace references stored in mimalloc-managed AK containers, so
static caches and other long-lived roots can look leaked. Pass the old
size into the Rust realloc shim so aligned fallback reallocations can
move posix_memalign-backed blocks safely.

Static builds still need a little linker help. macOS app binaries need
the Rust allocator entry points forced in from liblagom-ak.a, while
static ELF links can pull in identical allocator shim definitions from
multiple Rust staticlibs. Keep the Apple -u flags and allow those
duplicate shim symbols for LibJS and LibRegex links on Linux and BSD.

8472e469f4 AK+LibJS+LibWeb: Recognize that our UTF-16 string is actually WTF-16
For the web, we allow a wobbly UTF-16 encoding (i.e. lonely surrogates
are permitted). Only in a few exceptional cases do we strictly require
valid UTF-16. As such, our `validate(AllowLonelySurrogates::Yes)` calls
will always succeed. It's a wasted effort to ever make such a check.

This patch eliminates such invocations. The validation methods will now
only check for strict UTF-16, and are only invoked when needed.

36c7302178 AK: Optimize the UTF-16 StringBuilder for ASCII storage
When we build a UTF-16 string, we currently always switch to the UTF-16
storage mode inside StringBuilder. Then when it comes time to create the
string, we switch the storage to ASCII if possible (by shifting the
underlying bytes up).

Instead, let's start out with ASCII storage and then switch to UTF-16
storage once we see a non-ASCII code point. For most strings, this will
avoid allocating 2x the memory, and avoids many ASCII validation calls.

2803d66d87 AK: Support UTF-16 string formatting
The underlying storage used during string formatting is StringBuilder.
To support UTF-16 strings, this patch allows callers to specify a mode
during StringBuilder construction. The default mode is UTF-8, for which
StringBuilder remains unchanged.

In UTF-16 mode, we treat the StringBuilder's internal ByteBuffer as a
series of u16 code units. Appending a single character will append 2
bytes for that character (cast to a char16_t). Appending a StringView
will transcode the string to UTF-16.

Utf16String also gains the same memory optimization that we added for
String, where we hand-off the underlying buffer to Utf16String to avoid
having to re-allocate.

In the future, we may want to further optimize for ASCII strings. For
example, we could defer committing to the u16-esque storage until we
see a non-ASCII code point.

fe676585f5 AK: Add a UTF-16 string with optimized short- and ASCII-string storage
This is a strictly UTF-16 string with some optimizations for ASCII.

* If created from a short UTF-8 or UTF-16 string that is also ASCII,
  then the string is stored in an inlined byte buffer.

* If created with a long UTF-8 or UTF-16 string that is also ASCII,
  then the string is stored in an outlined char buffer.

* If created with a short or long UTF-8 or UTF-16 string that is not
  ASCII, then the string is stored in an outlined char16 buffer.

We do not store short non-ASCII text in the inlined buffer to avoid
confusion with operations such as `length_in_code_units` and
`code_unit_at`. For example, "😀" would be stored as 4 UTF-8 bytes
in short string form. But we still want `length_in_code_units` to
be 2, and `code_unit_at(0)` to be 0xD83D.
