Modernize CountedObject infrastructure:

- Replace the lazy singleton with a constinit registry of per-type
  static counters. The `getInstance` method is removed.
- A concurrency bug that would corrupt the list of counters during
  insertion has been fixed.
- Debug asserts can detect incorrect accounting that can result in
  counter under- or overflow.
- `CountedObject` can only be used as a CRTP base for its own type
  parameter.
- Track the current and maximum values of counter. This results in
  a change in the output of `get_counts`, with individual counters
  now reported as sub-objects of a `counters` object.

@@ -30,6 +30,11 @@ Version 3.5.0 is not yet released.
 
 - `subscribe`, `unsubscribe`: Added an optional `mpt_issuances` request field, an array of MPT issuance IDs (hex strings). Subscribers receive a message with `type` `mptTransaction` for each validated transaction whose metadata affects a subscribed issuance; the message has the same fields as the `transactions` stream. MPT issuance subscriptions count toward the per-connection subscription limit. An empty array, a non-array value, or an invalid ID returns `invalidParams`. ([#5671](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/5671))

+- `channel_authorize`: The `channel_id` field now returns an `invalidParams` error if the value is not a string. [#7582](https://github.com/XRPLF/rippled/pull/7582)
