Dennis Oberst b134718c11 QString: use new assign() in operator=({QByteArray, QChar, char *})
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.
