* Add jss fields used by Clio `nft_info`: (#4320)

Add Clio-specific JSS constants to ensure a common vocabulary of
keywords in Clio and this project. By providing visibility of the full
API keyword namespace, it reduces the likelihood of developers
introducing minor variations on names used by Clio, or unknowingly
claiming a keyword that Clio has already claimed. This change moves this
project slightly away from having only the code necessary for running
the core server, but it is a step toward the goal of keeping this
server's and Clio's APIs similar. The added JSS constants are annotated
to indicate their relevance to Clio.

Clio can be found here: https://github.com/XRPLF/clio

* Introduce support for a slabbed allocator: (#4218)

When instantiating a large amount of fixed-sized objects on the heap
the overhead that dynamic memory allocation APIs impose will quickly
become significant.

In some cases, allocating a large amount of memory at once and using
a slabbing allocator to carve the large block into fixed-sized units
that are used to service requests for memory out will help to reduce
memory fragmentation significantly and, potentially, improve overall
performance.

This commit introduces a new `SlabAllocator<>` class that exposes an
API that is _similar_ to the C++ concept of an `Allocator` but it is
not meant to be a general-purpose allocator.

It should not be used unless profiling and analysis of specific memory
allocation patterns indicates that the additional complexity introduced
will improve the performance of the system overall, and subsequent
profiling proves it.

A helper class, `SlabAllocatorSet<>` simplifies handling of variably
sized objects that benefit from slab allocations.

This commit incorporates improvements suggested by Greg Popovitch
(@greg7mdp).

Commit 1 of 3 in #4218.

* Optimize `SHAMapItem` and leverage new slab allocator: (#4218)

The `SHAMapItem` class contains a variable-sized buffer that
holds the serialized data associated with a particular item
inside a `SHAMap`.

Prior to this commit, the buffer for the serialized data was
allocated separately. Coupled with the fact that most instances
of `SHAMapItem` were wrapped around a `std::shared_ptr` meant
that an instantiation might result in up to three separate
memory allocations.

This commit switches away from `std::shared_ptr` for `SHAMapItem`
and uses `boost::intrusive_ptr` instead, allowing the reference
count for an instance to live inside the instance itself. Coupled
with using a slab-based allocator to optimize memory allocation
for the most commonly sized buffers, the net result is significant
memory savings. In testing, the reduction in memory usage hovers
between 400MB and 650MB. Other scenarios might result in larger
savings.

In performance testing with NFTs, this commit reduces memory size by
about 15% sustained over long duration.

Commit 2 of 3 in #4218.

* Avoid using std::shared_ptr when not necessary: (#4218)

The `Ledger` class contains two `SHAMap` instances: the state and
transaction maps. Previously, the maps were dynamically allocated using
`std::make_shared` despite the fact that they did not require lifetime
management separate from the lifetime of the `Ledger` instance to which
they belong.

The two `SHAMap` instances are now regular member variables. Some smart
pointers and dynamic memory allocation was avoided by using stack-based
alternatives.

Commit 3 of 3 in #4218.

* Prevent replay attacks with NetworkID field: (#4370)

Add a `NetworkID` field to help prevent replay attacks on and from
side-chains.

The new field must be used when the server is using a network id > 1024.

To preserve legacy behavior, all chains with a network ID less than 1025
retain the existing behavior. This includes Mainnet, Testnet, Devnet,
and hooks-testnet. If `sfNetworkID` is present in any transaction
submitted to any of the nodes on one of these chains, then
`telNETWORK_ID_MAKES_TX_NON_CANONICAL` is returned.

Since chains with a network ID less than 1025, including Mainnet, retain
the existing behavior, there is no need for an amendment.

The `NetworkID` helps to prevent replay attacks because users specify a
`NetworkID` field in every transaction for that chain.

This change introduces a new UINT32 field, `sfNetworkID` ("NetworkID").
There are also three new local error codes for transaction results:

- `telNETWORK_ID_MAKES_TX_NON_CANONICAL`
- `telREQUIRES_NETWORK_ID`
- `telWRONG_NETWORK`

To learn about the other transaction result codes, see:
https://xrpl.org/transaction-results.html

Local error codes were chosen because a transaction is not necessarily
malformed if it is submitted to a node running on the incorrect chain.
This is a local error specific to that node and could be corrected by
switching to a different node or by changing the `network_id` on that
node. See:
https://xrpl.org/connect-your-rippled-to-the-xrp-test-net.html

In addition to using `NetworkID`, it is still generally recommended to
use different accounts and keys on side-chains. However, people will
undoubtedly use the same keys on multiple chains; for example, this is
common practice on other blockchain networks. There are also some
legitimate use cases for this.

A `app.NetworkID` test suite has been added, and `core.Config` was
updated to include some network_id tests.

* Fix the fix for std::result_of (#4496)

Newer compilers, such as Apple Clang 15.0, have removed `std::result_of`
as part of C++20. The build instructions provided a fix for this (by
adding a preprocessor definition), but the fix was broken.

This fixes the fix by:
* Adding the `conf` prefix for tool configurations (which had been
  forgotten).
* Passing `extra_b2_flags` to `boost` package to fix its build.
  * Define `BOOST_ASIO_HAS_STD_INVOKE_RESULT` in order to build boost
    1.77 with a newer compiler.

* Use quorum specified via command line: (#4489)

If `--quorum` setting is present on the command line, use the specified
value as the minimum quorum. This allows for the use of a potentially
fork-unsafe quorum, but it is sometimes necessary for small and test
networks.

Fix #4488.

* Fix errors for Clang 16: (#4501)

Address issues related to the removal of `std::{u,bi}nary_function` in
C++17 and some warnings with Clang 16. Some warnings appeared with the
upgrade to Apple clang version 14.0.3 (clang-1403.0.22.14.1).

- `std::{u,bi}nary_function` were removed in C++17. They were empty
  classes with a few associated types. We already have conditional code
  to define the types. Just make it unconditional.
- libc++ checks a cast in an unevaluated context to see if a type
  inherits from a binary function class in the standard library, e.g.
  `std::equal_to`, and this causes an error when the type privately
  inherits from such a class. Change these instances to public
  inheritance.
- We don't need a middle-man for the empty base optimization. Prefer to
  inherit directly from an empty class than from
  `beast::detail::empty_base_optimization`.
- Clang warns when all the uses of a variable are removed by conditional
  compilation of assertions. Add a `[[maybe_unused]]` annotation to
  suppress it.
- As a drive-by clean-up, remove commented code.

See related work in #4486.

* Fix typo (#4508)

* fix!: Prevent API from accepting seed or public key for account (#4404)

The API would allow seeds (and public keys) to be used in place of
accounts at several locations in the API. For example, when calling
account_info, you could pass `"account": "foo"`. The string "foo" is
treated like a seed, so the method returns `actNotFound` (instead of
`actMalformed`, as most developers would expect). In the early days,
this was a convenience to make testing easier. However, it allows for
poor security practices, so it is no longer a good idea. Allowing a
secret or passphrase is now considered a bug. Previously, it was
controlled by the `strict` option on some methods. With this commit,
since the API does not interpret `account` as `seed`, the option
`strict` is no longer needed and is removed.

Removing this behavior from the API is a [breaking
change](https://xrpl.org/request-formatting.html#breaking-changes). One
could argue that it shouldn't be done without bumping the API version;
however, in this instance, there is no evidence that anyone is using the
API in the "legacy" way. Furthermore, it is a potential security hole,
as it allows users to send secrets to places where they are not needed,
where they could end up in logs, error messages, etc. There's no reason
to take such a risk with a seed/secret, since only the public address is
needed.

Resolves: #3329, #3330, #4337

BREAKING CHANGE: Remove non-strict account parsing (#3330)

* Add nftoken_id, nftoken_ids, offer_id fields for NFTokens (#4447)

Three new fields are added to the `Tx` responses for NFTs:

1. `nftoken_id`: This field is included in the `Tx` responses for
   `NFTokenMint` and `NFTokenAcceptOffer`. This field indicates the
   `NFTokenID` for the `NFToken` that was modified on the ledger by the
   transaction.
2. `nftoken_ids`: This array is included in the `Tx` response for
   `NFTokenCancelOffer`. This field provides a list of all the
   `NFTokenID`s for the `NFToken`s that were modified on the ledger by
   the transaction.
3. `offer_id`: This field is included in the `Tx` response for
   `NFTokenCreateOffer` transactions and shows the OfferID of the
   `NFTokenOffer` created.

The fields make it easier to track specific tokens and offers. The
implementation includes code (by @ledhed2222) from the Clio project to
extract NFTokenIDs from mint transactions.

* Ensure that switchover vars are initialized before use: (#4527)

Global variables in different TUs are initialized in an undefined order.
At least one global variable was accessing a global switchover variable.
This caused the switchover variable to be accessed in an uninitialized
state.

Since the switchover is always explicitly set before transaction
processing, this bug can not effect transaction processing, but could
effect unit tests (and potentially the value of some global variables).
Note: at the time of this patch the offending bug is not yet in
production.

* Move faulty assert (#4533)

This assert was put in the wrong place, but it only triggers if shards
are configured. This change moves the assert to the right place and
updates it to ensure correctness.

The assert could be hit after the server downloads some shards. It may
be necessary to restart after the shards are downloaded.

Note that asserts are normally checked only in debug builds, so release
packages should not be affected.

Introduced in: #4319 (66627b2)

* Fix unaligned load and stores: (#4528) (#4531)

Misaligned load and store operations are supported by both Intel and ARM
CPUs. However, in C++, these operations are undefined behavior (UB).
Substituting these operations with a `memcpy` fixes this UB. The
compiled assembly code is equivalent to the original, so there is no
performance penalty to using memcpy.

For context: The unaligned load and store operations fixed here were
originally introduced in the slab allocator (#4218).

* Add missing includes for gcc 13.1: (#4555)

gcc 13.1 failed to compile due to missing headers. This patch adds the
needed headers.

* Trivial: add comments for NFToken-related invariants (#4558)

* fix node size estimation (#4536)

Fix a bug in the `NODE_SIZE` auto-detection feature in `Config.cpp`.
Specifically, this patch corrects the calculation for the total amount
of RAM available, which was previously returned in bytes, but is now
being returned in units of the system's memory unit. Additionally, the
patch adjusts the node size based on the number of available hardware
threads of execution.

* fix: remove redundant moves (#4565)

- Resolve gcc compiler warning:
      AccountObjects.cpp:182:47: warning: redundant move in initialization [-Wredundant-move]
  - The std::move() operation on trivially copyable types may generate a
    compile warning in newer versions of gcc.
- Remove extraneous header (unused imports) from a unit test file.

* Revert "Fix the fix for std::result_of (#4496)"

This reverts commit cee8409.

* Revert "Fix typo (#4508)"

This reverts commit 2956f14.

* clang

* [fold] bad merge

* [fold] fix bad merge

- add back filter for ripple state on account_channels
