This patch adds a visibility state to GUI::Action. All actions default
to being visible. When invisible, they do not show up in toolbars on
menus (and importantly, they don't occupy any space).
This can be used to hide/show context-sensitive actions dynamically
without rebuilding menus and toolbars.
Thanks to Tim Slater for assuming that action visibility was a thing,
which gave me a reason to implement it! :^)
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 :^)
Previously when setting an action's icon we would only change the bitmap
stored by the action. This patch adds logic to propagate that change to
toolbar buttons as well as window menus.
This fixes an issue in SoundPlayer that would cause the play button not
to reflect the play state.
Creating a menu/menubar needs to be synchronous because we need the
ID from the response, but adding stuff *to* menus (and adding menus
to menubars, and menubars to windows) can all be asynchronous.
This dramatically reduces the amount of IPC ping-pong played by
each GUI application during startup.
I measured how long it takes TextEditor to enter the main event loop
and it's over 10% faster here. (Down from ~86ms to ~74ms)

(...and ASSERT_NOT_REACHED => VERIFY_NOT_REACHED)
Since all of these checks are done in release builds as well,
let's rename them to VERIFY to prevent confusion, as everyone is
used to assertions being compiled out in release.
We can introduce a new ASSERT macro that is specifically for debug
checks, but I'm doing this wholesale conversion first since we've
accumulated thousands of these already, and it's not immediately
obvious which ones are suitable for ASSERT.
