- Simplify and consolidate code for parsing hex input.
- Replace beast::endian::order with boost::endian::order.
- Simplify CountedObject code.
- Remove pre-C++17 workarounds in favor of C++17 based solutions.
- Improve `base_uint` and simplify its hex-parsing interface by
consolidating the `SexHex` and `SetHexExact` methods into one
API: `parseHex` which forces callers to verify the result of
the operation; as a result some public-facing API endpoints
may now return errors when passed values that were previously
accepted.
- Remove the simple fallback implementations of SHA2 and RIPEMD
introduced to reduce our dependency on OpenSSL. The code is
slow and rarely, if ever, exercised and we rely on OpenSSL
functionality for Boost.ASIO as well.
Remove the implicit conversion from int64 to XRPAmount. The motivation for this
was noticing that many calls to `to_string` with an integer parameter type were
calling the wrong `to_string` function. Since the calls were not prefixed with
`std::`, and there is no ADL to call `std::to_string`, this was converting the
int to an `XRPAmount` and calling `to_string(XRPAmount)`.
Since `to_string(XRPAmount)` did the same thing as `to_string(int)` this error
went undetected.
