APIv2(DeliverMax): add alias for Amount in Payment transactions (#4733)

Using the "Amount" field in Payment transactions can cause incorrect
interpretation. There continue to be problems from the use of this
field. "Amount" is rarely the correct field to use; instead,
"delivered_amount" (or "DeliveredAmount") should be used.

Rename the "Amount" field to "DeliverMax", a less misleading name. With
api_version: 2, remove the "Amount" field from Payment transactions.

- Input: "DeliverMax" in `tx_json` is an alias for "Amount"
  - sign
  - submit (in sign-and-submit mode)
  - submit_multisigned
  - sign_for
- Output: Add "DeliverMax" where transactions are provided by the API
  - ledger
  - tx
  - tx_history
  - account_tx
  - transaction_entry
  - subscribe (transactions stream)
- Output: Remove "Amount" from API version 2

- Attempting to use a non-boolean value (such as a string) for the `transactions` parameter returns `invalidParams` (`rpcINVALID_PARAMS`). Previously, in API version 1, no error was returned. (https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/4620)
##### In progress
- In `Payment` transaction type, JSON RPC field `Amount` is renamed to `DeliverMax`. To enable smooth client transition, `Amount` is still handled, as described below:
- On JSON RPC input (e.g. `submit_multisigned` etc. methods), `Amount` is recognized as an alias to `DeliverMax` for both API version 1 and version 2 clients.
- On JSON RPC input, submitting both `Amount` and `DeliverMax` fields is allowed _only_ if they are identical; otherwise such input is rejected with `rpcINVALID_PARAMS` error.
- On JSON RPC output (e.g. `subscribe`, `account_tx` etc. methods), `DeliverMax` is present in both API version 1 and version 2.
- On JSON RPC output, `Amount` is only present in API version 1 and _not_ in version 2.
