`STNumber` lets objects and transactions contain multiple fields for
quantities of XRP, IOU, or MPT without duplicating information about the
"issue" (represented by `STIssue`). It is a straightforward serialization of
the `Number` type that uniformly represents those quantities.

* Add fixNFTokenPageLinks amendment:
It was discovered that under rare circumstances the links between
NFTokenPages could be removed. If this happens, then the
account_objects and account_nfts RPC commands under-report the
NFTokens owned by an account.
The fixNFTokenPageLinks amendment does the following to address
the problem:
- It fixes the underlying problem so no further broken links
should be created.
- It adds Invariants so, if such damage were introduced in the
future, an invariant would stop it.
- It adds a new FixLedgerState transaction that repairs
directories that were damaged in this fashion.
- It adds unit tests for all of it.
Implement native support for Price Oracles.
A Price Oracle is used to bring real-world data, such as market prices,
onto the blockchain, enabling dApps to access and utilize information
that resides outside the blockchain.
Add Price Oracle functionality:
- OracleSet: create or update the Oracle object
- OracleDelete: delete the Oracle object
To support this functionality add:
- New RPC method, `get_aggregate_price`, to calculate aggregate price for a token pair of the specified oracles
- `ltOracle` object
The `ltOracle` object maintains:
- Oracle Owner's account
- Oracle's metadata
- Up to ten token pairs with the scaled price
- The last update time the token pairs were updated
Add Oracle unit-tests
Implement native support for W3C DIDs.
Add a new ledger object: `DID`.
Add two new transactions:
1. `DIDSet`: create or update the `DID` object.
2. `DIDDelete`: delete the `DID` object.
This meets the requirements specified in the DID v1.0 specification
currently recommended by the W3C Credentials Community Group.
The DID format for the XRP Ledger conforms to W3C DID standards.
The objects can be created and owned by any XRPL account holder.
The transactions can be integrated by any service, wallet, or application.
A bridge connects two blockchains: a locking chain and an issuing
chain (also called a mainchain and a sidechain). Both are independent
ledgers, with their own validators and potentially their own custom
transactions. Importantly, there is a way to move assets from the
locking chain to the issuing chain and a way to return those assets from
the issuing chain back to the locking chain: the bridge. This key
operation is called a cross-chain transfer. A cross-chain transfer is
not a single transaction. It happens on two chains, requires multiple
transactions, and involves an additional server type called a "witness".
A bridge does not exchange assets between two ledgers. Instead, it locks
assets on one ledger (the "locking chain") and represents those assets
with wrapped assets on another chain (the "issuing chain"). A good model
to keep in mind is a box with an infinite supply of wrapped assets.
Putting an asset from the locking chain into the box will release a
wrapped asset onto the issuing chain. Putting a wrapped asset from the
issuing chain back into the box will release one of the existing locking
chain assets back onto the locking chain. There is no other way to get
assets into or out of the box. Note that there is no way for the box to
"run out of" wrapped assets - it has an infinite supply.

Add AMM functionality:
- InstanceCreate
- Deposit
- Withdraw
- Governance
- Auctioning
- payment engine integration
To support this functionality, add:
- New RPC method, `amm_info`, to fetch pool and LPT balances
- AMM Root Account
- trust line for each IOU AMM token
- trust line to track Liquidity Provider Tokens (LPT)
- `ltAMM` object
The `ltAMM` object tracks:
- fee votes
- auction slot bids
- AMM tokens pair
- total outstanding tokens balance
- `AMMID` to AMM `RootAccountID` mapping
Add new classes to facilitate AMM integration into the payment engine.
`BookStep` uses these classes to infer if AMM liquidity can be consumed.
The AMM formula implementation uses the new Number class added in #4192.
IOUAmount and STAmount use Number arithmetic.
Add AMM unit tests for all features.
AMM requires the following amendments:
- featureAMM
- fixUniversalNumber
- featureFlowCross
Notes:
- Current trading fee threshold is 1%
- AMM currency is generated by: 0x03 + 152 bits of sha256{cur1, cur2}
- Current max AMM Offers is 30
