Fixes: RIPD-1574
Alias beast address classes to the asio equivalents. Adjust users of
address classes accordingly. Fix resolver class so that it can support
ipv6 addresses. Make unit tests use ipv6 localhost network. Extend
endpoint peer message to support string endpoint
representations while also supporting the existing fields (both are
optional/repeated types). Expand test for Livecache and Endpoint.
Workaround some false positive ipaddr tests on windows (asio bug?)
Replaced usage of address::from_string(deprecated) with free function
make_address. Identified a remaining use of v4 address type and
replaced with the more appropriate IPEndpoint type (rpc_ip cmdline
option). Add CLI flag for using ipv4 with unit tests.
Release Notes
-------------
The optional rpc_port command line flag is deprecated. The rpc_ip
parameter now works as documented and accepts ip and port combined.
* UptimeClock is a chrono-compatible seconds-precision clock.
* Like UptimeTimer, its purpose is to make it possible for clients
to query the uptime thousands of times per second without a
significant performance hit.
* UptimeClock decouples itself from LoadManager by managing its
own once-per-second update loop.
* Clients now traffic in chrono time_points and durations instead
of int.
* 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.

Do not process a transaction received from a peer if it has
been processed within the past ten seconds.
Increase the number of transaction handlers that can be in
flight in the job queue and decrease the relative cost for
peers to share transaction and ledger data.
Additionally, make better use of resources by adjusting the
number of threads we initialize, by reverting commit
68b8ffdb63.
Performance counter modifications:
* Create and display counters to track:
1) Pending transaction limit overruns.
2) Total peer disconnections.
3) Peers disconnections due to resource consumption.
Avoid a potential double-free in Json library.
Do not dispatch a transaction received from a peer for
processing, if it has already been dispatched within the
past ten seconds.

It is common for a validator operator to connect their validator
only to other nodes under their control, using clustering. Relaying of
untrusted validations and proposals must be unreliable to prevent
denial of service attacks. But currently, they are unreliable even
within a cluster.
With this change, a cluster member's decisison to relay (or originate)
a validation or proposal is honored by other cluster members. This
ensures that validators in a cluster will get reliable relaying to
hubs outside the cluster, even if other members of the cluster do not
have that validator on their UNL.
* If the transaction can't be queued, recover to the open ledger once,
and drop it on the next attempt.
* New result codes for transactions that can not queue.
* Add minimum queue size.
* Remove the obsolete and incorrect SF_RETRY flag.
* fix#2215
Introduces a generic Validations class for storing and querying current and
recent validations. Aditionally migrates the validation related timing
constants from LedgerTiming to the new Validations code.
Introduces RCLValidations as the version of Validations adapted for use in the
RCL. This adds support for flushing/writing validations to the sqlite log and
also manages concurrent access to the Validations data.
RCLValidations::flush() no longer uses the JobQueue for its database
write at shutdown. It performs the write directly without
changing threads.
This is a substantial refactor of the consensus code and also introduces
a basic consensus simulation and testing framework. The new generic/templated
version is in src/ripple/consensus and documents the current type requirements.
The version adapted for the RCL is in src/ripple/app/consensus. The testing
framework is in src/test/csf.
Minor behavioral changes/fixes include:
* Adjust close time offset even when not validating.
* Remove spurious proposing_ = false call at end of handleLCL.
* Remove unused functionality provided by checkLastValidation.
* Separate open and converge time
* Don't send a bow out if we're not proposing
* Prevent consensus stopping if NetworkOPs switches to disconnect mode while
consensus accepts a ledger
* Prevent a corner case in which Consensus::gotTxSet or Consensus::peerProposal
has the potential to update internal state while an dispatched accept job is
running.
* Distinguish external and internal calls to startNewRound. Only external
calls can reset the proposing_ state of consensus
Calling OverlayImpl::list_[].second->stop() may cause list_ to be
modified (OverlayImpl::remove() may be called on this same thread).
So iterating directly over OverlayImpl::list_ to call
OverlayImpl::list_[].second->stop() could give undefined behavior.
On MacOS that undefined behavior exhibited as a hang.
Therefore we copy all of the weak/shared ptrs out of
OverlayImpl::list_ before we start calling stop() on them. That
guarantees OverlayImpl::remove() won't be called until
OverlayImpl::stop() completes.
Instead of specifying a static list of trusted validators in the config
or validators file, the configuration can now include trusted validator
list publisher keys.
The trusted validator list and quorum are now reset each consensus
round using the latest validator lists and the list of recent
validations seen. The minimum validation quorum is now only
configurable via the command line.
The existing configuration includes 512 and 1024 bit DH
parameters and supports ciphers such as RC4 and 3DES and
hash algorithms like SHA-1 which are no longer considered
secure.
Going forward, use only 2048-bit DH parameters and define
a new default set of modern ciphers to use:
HIGH:!aNULL:!MD5:!DSS:!SHA1:!3DES:!RC4:!EXPORT:!DSS
Additionally, allow administrators who wish to have different
settings to configure custom global and per-port ciphers suites
in the configuration file using the `ssl_ciphers` directive.
Previously, manifests sent to new peers were marked as history so that
they would not be forwarded. However, this prevented a starting up
node's new manifest from being forwarded beyond its directly connected
peers. Stale or invalid manifests are still not forwarded.
