operator=(~) and assign() share similar names but, until now, have not shared the same functionality. This patch introduces the usage of QString::assign() within the non-sharing assignment operators to effectively boost efficiency by reusing the available capacity. Since we're re-using the capacity we update the test case in places where they don't hold true anymore. Since these assignment operators are frequently used in many places, both within Qt and non-Qt code, this patch comes with benchmarks. The preview of the benchmark results are compared with this patch and before this patch. The results show a boost in performance for the QByteArray and 'const char*' overload. The QLatin1StringView overload already preserved the capacity and has a better performance than the assign() alternative, so don't us it there.

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.
