According to the WebIDL specification, any leading underscores in
identifier names are ignored. A leading underscore is used when an
identifier would otherwise be a reserved word.
Duplicates can show up when copy-pasting IDL snippets into existing IDL
files, and the resulting error is extremely useless and misleading.
This commit makes it so the parser catches these cases, and emits a more
helpful error like "Overload set 'instantiate' contains multiple
identical declarations".
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).

This commit teaches BindingsGenerator to generate depfiles, which can be
used by CMake to ensure that bindings are properly regenerated when
imported IDL files change.
Two new options, `--depfile` and `--depfile-target` are added.
- `--depfile` sets the path for the dependency file.
- `--depfile-target` lets us set a target name different than the output
file in the depfile. This option is needed because generated files are
first written to a temporary file, but depfiles have to refer to the
final location.
These are analogous to GCC's `-MF` and `-MT` options respectively. The
depfile's syntax matches the ones generated by GCC.
Note: This changes the minimal required CMake version to 3.20 if the
Make generator is used, and to 3.21 for the Xcode generator. Ninja is
not affected.
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 :^)
Instead, create a tree of Parsers all pointing to a top-level Parser.
All module imports and interfaces are stored at the top level, instead
of in a static map. This allows creating multiple IDL::Parsers in the
same process without them stepping on each others toes.
IDL function overload resolution requires knowing each IDL function's
parameters and their types at runtime. The simplest way to do that is
just to make the types the generator uses available to the runtime.
Parsing has moved to LibIDL, but code generation has not, since that is
very specific to WrapperGenerator.
