* Introduces amendment `XRPFees`
* Convert fee voting and protocol messages to use XRPAmounts
* Includes Validations, Change transactions, the "Fees" ledger object,
and subscription messages
* Improve handling of 0 drop reference fee with TxQ. For use with networks that do not want to require fees
* Note that fee escalation logic is still in place, which may cause the
open ledger fee to rise if the network is busy. 0 drop transactions
will still queue, and fee escalation can be effectively disabled by
modifying the configuration on all nodes
* Change default network reserves to match Mainnet
* Name the new SFields *Drops (not *XRP)
* Reserve SField IDs for Hooks
* Clarify comments explaining the ttFEE transaction field validation
Reduce the reserve requirements from 20/5 to 10/2 in line with the current network votes. The requirements of 10/2 have been on the network long enough that new nodes should not still have the old reserve amount.

Support for 'out-of-sequence' transaction execution was introduced
in commit 7724cca384.
The changes in that commit were gated under a feature but there was
no corresponding amendment introduced that would allow the network
to vote on this amendment.
This commit introduces 'TicketBatch' amendment as the amendment
that is associated with the tickets feature. If the amendment is
enabled, it will activate support for tickets.
This commit also removes several workarounds that are no longer
needed in unit tests.
There have been cases in the past where SFields have been defined
in such a way that they did not follow our conventions. In
particular, the string representation of an SField should match
the in-code name of the SField.
This change leverages the preprocessor to encourage SFields to
be properly constructed.
The suffixes of SField types are changed to be the same as
the suffixes of corresponding SerializedTypeIDs. This allows
The preprocessor to match types using simple name pasting.
Since the string representation of the SField is part of our
stable API, the name of sfPayChannel was changed to sfChannel.
This change allows sfChannel to follow our conventions while
making no changes to our external API.
Tickets are a mechanism to allow for the "out-of-order" execution of
transactions on the XRP Ledger.
This commit, if merged, reworks the existing support for tickets and
introduces support for 'ticket batching', completing the feature set
needed for tickets.
The code is gated under the newly-introduced `TicketBatch` amendment
and the `Tickets` amendment, which is not presently active on the
network, is being removed.
The specification for this change can be found at:
https://github.com/xrp-community/standards-drafts/issues/16
Entries in the ledger are located using 256-bit locators. The locators
are calculated using a wide range of parameters specific to the entry
whose locator we are calculating (e.g. an account's locator is derived
from the account's address, whereas the locator for an offer is derived
from the account and the offer sequence.)
Keylets enhance type safety during lookup and make the code more robust,
so this commit removes most of the earlier code, which used naked
uint256 values.
The XRP Ledger utilizes an account model. Unlike systems based on a UTXO
model, XRP Ledger accounts are first-class objects. This design choice
allows the XRP Ledger to offer rich functionality, including the ability
to own objects (offers, escrows, checks, signer lists) as well as other
advanced features, such as key rotation and configurable multi-signing
without needing to change a destination address.
The trade-off is that accounts must be stored on ledger. The XRP Ledger
applies reserve requirements, in XRP, to protect the shared global ledger
from growing excessively large as the result of spam or malicious usage.
Prior to this commit, accounts had been permanent objects; once created,
they could never be deleted.
This commit introduces a new amendment "DeletableAccounts" which, if
enabled, will allow account objects to be deleted by executing the new
"AccountDelete" transaction. Any funds remaining in the account will
be transferred to an account specified in the deletion transaction.
The amendment changes the mechanics of account creation; previously
a new account would have an initial sequence number of 1. Accounts
created after the amendment will have an initial sequence number that
is equal to the ledger in which the account was created.
Accounts can only be deleted if they are not associated with any
obligations (like RippleStates, Escrows, or PayChannels) and if the
current ledger sequence number exceeds the account's sequence number
by at least 256 so that, if recreated, the account can be protected
from transaction replay.
