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.
