) We had a dedicated `StringLexer` class that pretty much just replicates the `llvm::StringRef` interface. This patch removes the `StringLexer` in favour of just using `llvm::StringRef`. Much of the string parsing can be cleaned up, but I tried to keep the changes a small as possible so just kept the logic and replaced the APIs calls. The only awkward side-effect of this is that we have to pass a `llvm::StringRef &` around. There were some gaps in the API, so added two helper methods to consume/pop off characters from the front of the StringRef (maybe those can be added to `llvm::StringRef` in the future). The `StringLexer` also had a roll-back mechanism used in two places. That can be handled by just saving a copy of the `StringRef`. (cherry picked from commit e4c4498)
