Now that scylla requries c++20 there's no
need to define our own implementation in utils/bit_cast.hh

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
In some places we use the `*reinterpret_cast<const net::packed<T>*>(&x)`
pattern to reinterpret memory. This is a violation of C++'s aliasing rules,
which invokes undefined behaviour.
The blessed way to correctly reinterpret memory is to copy it into a new
object. Let's do that.
Note: the reinterpret_cast way has no performance advantage. Compilers
recognize the memory copy pattern and optimize it away.
