When T in HashTable<T> has a potentially slow equality check, it can be
very profitable to check for a matching hash before full equality.
This patch adds may_have_slow_equality_check() to AK::Traits and
defaults it to true. For trivial types (pointers, integers, etc) we
default it to false. This means we skip the hash check when the equality
check would be a single-CPU-word compare anyway.
This synergizes really well with things like HashMap<String, V> where
collisions previously meant we may have to churn through multiple O(n)
equality checks.
Resulting in a massive rename across almost everywhere! Alongside the
namespace change, we now have the following names:
* JS::NonnullGCPtr -> GC::Ref
* JS::GCPtr -> GC::Ptr
* JS::HeapFunction -> GC::Function
* JS::CellImpl -> GC::Cell
* JS::Handle -> GC::Root
