Marc Mutz 00a8be85d1 Long live QStringView!
QStringView is a simple container for (const QChar*, int) and (const
char16_t*, size_t). It acts as a replacement interface type for const
QString and const QStringRef, and enables passing all kinds of
string-like types to functions otherwise expecting const QString& -
without the need to convert to QString first.

The use of this new class is guarded by a macro that enables three
levels of QStringView support:

 1. offer QStringView, overload some functions taking QString with
    QStringView

 2. like 1, but remove all overloads of functions taking QStringRef,
    leaving only the function taking QStringView.  Do this only where
    QStringRef overloads tradionally existed.

 3. like 2, but replace functions taking QString, too.

This is done in order to measure the impact of QStringView on code
size and execution speed, and to help guide the decision of which
level to choose for Qt 6.

This first patch adds QStringView with most of its planned
constructors, but not much more than iterators and isNull()/isEmpty().

Further patches will add support for QStringView to QStringBuilder,
add QStringView overloads of functions taking QString, and add the
complete API of const QString to QStringView.

[ChangeLog][QtCore][QStringView] New class, superseding const QString
and QStringRef as function parameters, accepting a wide variety of
UTF-16 string data sources, e.g. u"string", std::u16string{,_view},
and, on Windows, L"string", std::wstring{,_view} without converting to
QString first.

README

This directory contains autotests and benchmarks based on Qt Test. In order
to run the autotests reliably, you need to configure a desktop to match the
test environment that these tests are written for.

Linux X11:

   * The user must be logged in to an active desktop; you can't run the
     autotests without a valid DISPLAY that allows X11 connections.

   * The tests are run against a KDE3 or KDE4 desktop.

   * Window manager uses "click to focus", and not "focus follows mouse". Many
     tests move the mouse cursor around and expect this to not affect focus
     and activation.

   * Disable "click to activate", i.e., when a window is opened, the window
     manager should automatically activate it (give it input focus) and not
     wait for the user to click the window.
