In the previous patch we added a limit in Alternator for the magnitude
and precision of numbers, based on a function get_magnitude_and_precision
whose implementation was, unfortunately, rather elaborate and delicate.
Although we did add in the previous patches some end-to-end tests which
confirmed that the final decision made based on this function, to accept or
reject numbers, was a correct decision in a few cases, such an elaborate
function deserves a separate unit test for checking just that function
in isolation. In fact, this unit tests uncovered some bugs in the first
implementation of get_magnitude_and_precision() which the other tests
missed.

Instead of lengthy blurbs, switch to single-line, machine-readable
standardized (https://spdx.dev) license identifiers. The Linux kernel
switched long ago, so there is strong precedent.
Three cases are handled: AGPL-only, Apache-only, and dual licensed.
For the latter case, I chose (AGPL-3.0-or-later and Apache-2.0),
reasoning that our changes are extensive enough to apply our license.
The changes we applied mechanically with a script, except to
licenses/README.md.
Closes#9937
base64.hh pulls in the huge rjson.hh, so if someone just wants
a base64 codec they have to pull in the entire rapidjson library.
Move the json related parts of base64.hh to rjson.hh and adjust
includes and namespaces.
In practice it doesn't make much difference, as all users of base64
appear to want json too. But it's cleaner not to mix the two.
Closes#9433
The base64 encoding/decoding functions will be used for serialization of
hint sync point descriptions. Base64 format is not specific to
Alternator, so it can be moved to utils.
Following Nadav's advice, instead of ignoring the test
in sanitize/debug modes, the allocator simply has a special path
of failing sufficiently large allocation requests.
With that, a problem with the address sanitizer is bypassed
and other debug mode sanitizers can inspect and check
if there are no more problems related to wrapping the original
rapidjson allocator.
Closes#8539
