Replacing `restrict_replication_simplestrategy` config option with
2 config options: `replication_strategy_{warn,fail}_list`, which
allow us to impose soft limits (issue a warning) and hard limits (not
execute CQL) on replication strategy when creating/altering a keyspace.
The reason to rather replace than extend `restrict_replication_simplestrategy` config
option is that it was not used and we wanted to generalize it.
Only soft guardrail is enabled by default and it is set to SimpleStrategy,
which means that we'll generate a CQL warning whenever replication strategy
is set to SimpleStrategy. For new cloud deployments we'll move
SimpleStrategy from warn to the fail list.
Guardrails violations will be tracked by metrics.

Recently we noticed a regression where with certain versions of the fmt
library,
SELECT value FROM system.config WHERE name = 'experimental_features'
returns string numbers, like "5", instead of feature names like "raft".
It turns out that the fmt library keep changing their overload resolution
order when there are several ways to print something. For enum_option<T> we
happen to have to conflicting ways to print it:
1. We have an explicit operator<<.
2. We have an *implicit* convertor to the type held by T.
We were hoping that the operator<< always wins. But in fmt 8.1, there is
special logic that if the type is convertable to an int, this is used
before operator<<()! For experimental_features_t, the type held in it was
an old-style enum, so it is indeed convertible to int.
The solution I used in this patch is to replace the old-style enum
in experimental_features_t by the newer and more recommended "enum class",
which does not have an implicit conversion to int.
I could have fixed it in other ways, but it wouldn't have been much
prettier. For example, dropping the implicit convertor would require
us to change a bunch of switch() statements over enum_option (and
not just experimental_features_t, but other types of enum_option).
Going forward, all uses of enum_option should use "enum class", not
"enum". tri_mode_restriction_t was already using an enum class, and
now so does experimental_features_t. I changed the examples in the
comments to also use "enum class" instead of enum.
This patch also adds to the existing experimental_features test a
check that the feature names are words that are not numbers.

Check that SELECT {columns} FROM system.clients returns back only local
connection of cql type (because there are no others during the test).

The system.config virtual tables prints each configuration variable of
type T based on the JSON printer specified in the config_type_for<T>
in db/config.cc.
For two variable types - experimental_features and tri_mode_restriction,
the specified converter was wrong: We used value_to_json<string> or
value_to_json<vector<string>> on something which was *not* a string.
Unfortunately, value_to_json silently casted the given objects into
strings, and the result was garbage: For example as noted in #10047,
for experimental_features instead of printing a list of features *names*,
e.g., "raft", we got a bizarre list of one-byte strings with each feature's
number (which isn't documented or even guaranteed to not change) as well
as carriage-return characters (!?).
So solution is a new printable_to_json<T> which works on a type T that
can be printed with operator<< - as in fact the above two types can -
and the type is converted into a string or vector of strings using this
operator<<, not a cast.
Also added a cql-pytest test for reading system.config and in particular
options of the above two types - checking that they contain sensible
strings and not "garbage" like before this patch.
Fixes#10047.

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
