SmolStr has an Arc internally for large strings. This allows
cheap copies of large strings, but we lose that ability
when we convert the SmolStr to a &str and then reconstruct a
SmolStr from that slice.
I was hoping for some larger gains here, considering the impact
of this code change, but it only removes ~50k allocations,
while the impact on the runtime is not noticeable at all.
Still, I believe this is the right thing to do.
Before:
```
allocations: 2338981
Time (mean ± σ): 988.3 ms ± 17.9 ms [User: 690.2 ms, System: 206.4 ms]
Range (min … max): 956.4 ms … 1016.3 ms 10 runs
```
After:
```
allocations: 2287723
Time (mean ± σ): 989.8 ms ± 23.2 ms [User: 699.2 ms, System: 197.6 ms]
Range (min … max): 945.3 ms … 1021.4 ms 10 runs
```
This allows us to cheaply copy the langtype::Type values which
contain such a type. The runtime impact is small and barely noticable
but a sampling profiler shows a clear reduction in samples pointing
at langtype.rs, roughly reducing that from ~8.6% inclusive cost
down to 6.6% inclusive cost.
Furthermore, this allows us to share/intern common types.
Before:
```
Benchmark 1: ./target/release/slint-viewer ../slint-perf/app.slint
Time (mean ± σ): 1.089 s ± 0.026 s [User: 0.771 s, System: 0.216 s]
Range (min … max): 1.046 s … 1.130 s 10 runs
allocations: 3152149
```
After:
```
Time (mean ± σ): 1.073 s ± 0.021 s [User: 0.759 s, System: 0.215 s]
Range (min … max): 1.034 s … 1.105 s 10 runs
allocations: 3074261
```
This removes a lot of allocations and speeds up the compiler step
a bit. Sadly, this patch is very invasive as it touches a lot of
files. That said, each individual hunk is pretty trivial.
For a non-trivial real-world example, the impact is significant,
we get rid of ~29% of all allocations and improve the runtime by
about 4.8% (measured until the viewer loop would start).

```

allocations: 4886888
temporary allocations: 857508

Updated the version from 1.1 to 1.2
Renamed the header to "Slint Royalty-free Desktop, Mobile, and Web Applications License"
Added definition of "Mobile Application" and grant of right
Moved "Limitations" to 3rd section and "License Conditions - Attributions" to 2nd section
Added flexibility to choose between showing "MadeWithSlint" as a dialog/splash screen or on a public webpage
Moved the para on copyright notices to section under "Limitations"
Since we materialize only one point property, we don't need to cache the
parent position in a separate property, but we can just store that in
the binding.
The type of thep property is `Point`, which existed before. It was
mapped to `slint::private_unstable_api::re_exports::Point` (euclid) and
is now mapped to slint::LogicalPosition (also in C++).
