* RIPD-1617, RIPD-1619, RIPD-1621:
Verify serialized public keys more strictly before
using them.
* RIPD-1618:
* Simplify the base58 decoder logic.
* Reduce the complexity of the base58 encoder and
eliminate a potential out-of-bounds memory access.
* Improve type safety by using an `enum class` to
enforce strict type checking for token types.
* RIPD-1616:
Avoid calling `memcpy` with a null pointer even if the
size is specified as zero, since it results in undefined
behavior.

The RippleAddress class was used to represent a number of fundamentally
different types: account public keys, account secret keys, node public
keys, node secret keys, seeds and generators.
The class is replaced by the following types:
* PublicKey for account and node public keys
* SecretKey for account and node private keys
* Generator for generating secp256k1 accounts
* Seed for account, node and generator seeds
* A new, unified interface for generating random numbers and
filling buffers supporting any engine that fits the
UniformRandomNumberGenerator concept;
* Automatically seeded replacement for rand using the fast
xorshift+ PRNG engine;
* A CSPRNG engine that can be used with the new framework
when needing to to generate cryptographically secure
randomness.
* Unit test cleanups to work with new engine.
