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).

We've been sending the values converted to a string, but now that the
Value type is transferrable over IPC, send the values themselves. Any
client that wants the value as a string may do so easily, whereas this
will allow less trivial clients to avoid string parsing.
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 :^)
Up to now the only ``SELECT`` statement that worked was ``SELECT *
FROM <table>``. This commit allows a column list consisting of
column names and expressions in addition to ``*``. ``WHERE``
still doesn't work though.
Classes reading and writing to the data heap would communicate directly
with the Heap object, and transfer ByteBuffers back and forth with it.
This makes things like caching and locking hard. Therefore all data
persistence activity will be funneled through a Serializer object which
in turn submits it to the Heap.
Introducing this unfortunately resulted in a huge amount of churn, in
which a number of smaller refactorings got caught up as well.
This patch introduces the ability execute parsed SQL statements. The
abstract AST Statement node now has a virtual 'execute' method. This
method takes a Database object as parameter and returns a SQLResult
object.
Also introduced here is the CREATE SCHEMA statement. Tables live in a
schema, and if no schema is present in a table reference the 'default'
schema is implied. This schema is created if it doesn't yet exist when
a Database object is created.
Finally, as a proof of concept, the CREATE SCHEMA and CREATE TABLE
statements received an 'execute' implementation. The CREATE TABLE
method is not able to create tables created from SQL queries yet.
The Order enum is used in the Meta component of LibSQL. Using this enum
meant having to include the monster AST/AST.h include file. Furthermore,
they are sort of basic and therefore can live in the general SQL
namespace. Moved to LibSQL/Type.h.
Also introduced a new class, SQLResult, which is needed in future
patches.
This patch adds the basic dynamic value classes used by the SQL Storage
layer. The most elementary class is Value, which holds a typed Value
which can be converted to standard C++ types. A Tuple is a collection
of Values described by a TupleDescriptor, which specifies the names,
types, and ordering of the elements in the Tuple.
Tuples and Values can be serialized and deserialized to and from
ByteBuffers. This is mechanism which is used to save them to disk.
Tuples are used as keys in SQL indexes and rows in SQL tables.
Also included is a test file.
