Switch StringObject and StringGuts from opaquely storing tagged cocoa
strings into storing small strings. Plumb small string support
throughout the standard library's routines.
In theory there could be a "fixed-layout" enum that's not exhaustive
but promises not to add any more cases with payloads, but we don't
need that distinction today.
(Note that @objc enums are still "fixed-layout" in the actual sense of
"having a compile-time known layout". There's just no special way to
spell that.)
* Add partial range subscripts to _UnmanagedOpaqueString
* Use SipHash13+_NormalizedCodeUnitIterator for String hashes on all platforms
* Remove unecessary collation algorithm shims
* Pass the buffer to the SipHasher for ASCII
* Hash the ascii parts of UTF16 strings the same way we hash pure ascii strings
* De-dupe some code that can be shared between _UnmanagedOpaqueString and _UnmanagedString<UInt16>
* ASCII strings now hash consistently for in hashASCII() and hashUTF16()
* Fix zalgo comparison regression
* Use hasher
* Fix crash when appending to an empty _FixedArray
* Compact ASCII characters into a single UInt64 for hashing
* String: Switch to _hash(into:)-based hashing
This should speed up String hashing quite a bit, as doing it through hashValue involves two rounds of SipHash nested in each other.
* Remove obsolete workaround for ARC traffic
* Ditch _FixedArray<UInt8> in favor of _UIntBuffer<UInt64, UInt8>
* Bad rebase remnants
* Fix failing benchmarks
* michael's feedback
* clarify the comment about nul-terminated string hashes
Restore (un-revert) sting comparison, with fixes
More exhaustive testing of opaque strings, which consistently reproduces prior sporadic failure. Shims fixups. Some test tweaking.
