The Ripple protocol represent transfer rates and trust line
qualities as fractions of one billion. For example, a transfer
rate of 1% is represented as 1010000000.
Previously, such rates where represented either as std::uint32_t
or std::uint64_t. Other, nominally related types, also used an
integral representation and could be unintentionally substituted.
The new Rate class addresses this by providing a simple, type
safe alternative which also helps make the code self-documenting
since arithmetic operations now can be clearly understood to
involve the scaling of an amount by a rate.
Add a new algorithm for finding the liquidity in a payment path. There
is still a reverse and forward pass, but the forward pass starts at the
limiting step rather than the payment source. This insures the limiting
step is completely consumed rather than potentially leaving a 'dust'
amount in the forward pass.
Each step in a payment is either a book step, a direct step (account to
account step), or an xrp endpoint. Each step in the existing
implementation is a triple, where each element in the triple is either
an account of a book, for a total of eight step types.
Since accounts are considered in pairs, rather than triples, transfer
fees are handled differently. In V1 of payments, in the payment path
A -> gw ->B, if A redeems to gw, and gw issues to B, a transfer fee is
changed. In the new code, a transfer fee is changed even if A issues to
gw.
