make #8784 work on Mac
export deprecation alias for String
Fix test for 32 bit

The test added in #8893 shouldn't use typemax(Int), but typemax(Int64)
Fix inv(Hermitian) and let it return a Hermitian type. Make fallback \ call factorize and add factorize noops for types that can already be considered factorized. Add dummy A_ldiv_B! to cholmod.jl to make fallback \ work.
Fix #8857, i.e. element type promotion in \(SymTridiagonal)
move String rename under 'Language Changes' since this is a core type, and is an extremely visible change
slight doc clarification
