This change replaces `void const*` by `uint256 const&` for database fetches.
Object hashes are expressed using the `uint256` data type, and are converted to `void *` when calling the `fetch` or `fetchBatch` functions. However, in these fetch functions they are converted back to `uint256`, making the conversion process unnecessary. In a few cases the underlying pointer is needed, but that can then be easy obtained via `[hash variable].data()`.
This change removes the cache in `DatabaseNodeImp` and simplifies the caching logic in `SHAMapStoreImp`. As NuDB and RocksDB internally already use caches, additional caches in the code are not very valuable or may even be unnecessary, as also confirmed during preliminary performance analyses.
This change renames all occurrences of `namespace ripple` and `ripple::` to `namespace xrpl` and `xrpl::`, respectively, as well as the names of test suites. It also provides a script to allow developers to replicate the changes in their local branch or fork to avoid conflicts.
Per XLS-0095, we are taking steps to rename ripple(d) to xrpl(d).
This change specifically removes all copyright notices referencing Ripple, XRPLF, and certain affiliated contributors upon mutual agreement, so the notice in the LICENSE.md file applies throughout. Copyright notices referencing external contributions remain as-is. Duplicate verbiage is also removed.
