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
Adds a sync_point structure. A sync point is a (possibly incomplete)
mapping from hint queues to a replay position in it. Users will be able
to create sync points consisting of the last written positions of some
hint queues, so then they can wait until hint replay in all of the
queues reach that point.
The sync point supports serialization - first it is serialized with the
help of IDL to a binary form, and then converted to a hexadecimal
string. Deserialization is also possible.
