We are currently using old version 0.6.2 of `xxhash`, as a verbatim copy and paste of its header file `xxhash.h`. Switch to the more recent version 0.8.2. Since this version is in Conan Center (and properly protects its ABI by keeping the state object incomplete), add it as a Conan requirement. Switch to the SIMD instructions (in the new `XXH3` family) supported by the new version.
Use consistent platform-agnostic library names on all platforms.
Fix an issue that prevents dependents like validator-keys-tool from
linking to libxrpl on Windows.
It is bad practice to change the binary base name depending on the
platform. CMake already manipulates the base name into a final name that
fits the conventions of the platform. Linkers accept base names on the
command line and then look for conventional names on disk.
Use the most recent versions in ConanCenter.
* Due to a bug in Clang 16, you may get a compile error:
"call to 'async_teardown' is ambiguous"
* A compiler flag workaround is documented in `BUILD.md`.
* At this time, building this with gcc 13 may require editing some files
in `.conan/data`
* A patch to support gcc13 may be added in a later PR.

- "Rename" the type `LedgerInfo` to `LedgerHeader` (but leave an alias
for `LedgerInfo` to not yet disturb existing uses). Put it in its own
public header, named after itself, so that it is more easily found.
- Move the type `Fees` and NFT serialization functions into public
(installed) headers.
- Compile the XRPL and gRPC protocol buffers directly into `libxrpl` and
install their headers. Fix the Conan recipe to correctly export these
types.

For context: This work supports Clio's dependence on libxrpl. Clio is
just an example consumer. These changes should benefit all current and
future consumers.

Fix the libxrpl library target for consumers using Conan.
* Fix installation issues and update includes.
* Update requirements in the Conan package info.
* libxrpl requires openssl::crypto.
(Conan is a software package manager for C++.)
Make it easy for projects to depend on libxrpl by adding an `ALIAS`
target named `xrpl::libxrpl` for projects to link.
The name was chosen because:
* The current library target is named `xrpl_core`. There is no other
"non-core" library target against which we need to distinguish the
"core" library. We only export one library target, and it should just
be named after the project to keep things simple and predictable.
* Underscores in target or library names are generally discouraged.
* Every target exported in CMake should be prefixed with the project
name.
By adding an `ALIAS` target, existing consumers who use the `xrpl_core`
target will not be affected.
* In the future, there can be a migration plan to make `xrpl_core` the
`ALIAS` target (and `libxrpl` the "real" target, which will affect the
filename of the compiled binary), and eventually remove it entirely.
Also:
* Fix the Conan recipe so that consumers using Conan import a target
named `xrpl::libxrpl`. This way, every consumer can use the same
instructions.
* Document the two easiest methods to depend on libxrpl. Both have been
tested.
* See #4443.
Introduces a conanfile.py (and a Conan recipe for RocksDB) to enable building the package with Conan, choosing more recent default versions of dependencies. It removes almost all of the CMake build files related to dependencies, and the configurations for Travis CI and GitLab CI. A new set of cross-platform build instructions are written in BUILD.md.
Includes example GitHub Actions workflow for each of Linux, macOS, Windows.
* Test on macos-12
We use the <concepts> library which was not added to Apple Clang until
version 13.1.6. The default Clang on macos-11 (the sometimes current
version of macos-latest) is 13.0.0, and the default Clang on macos-12 is
14.0.0.
Closes#4223.
