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
The keys classes (partition_key et al) already use managed_bytes,
but they assume the data is not fragmented and make liberal use
of that by casting to bytes_view. The view classes use bytes_view.
Change that to managed_bytes_view, and adjust return values
to managed_bytes/managed_bytes_view.
The callers are adjusted. In some places linearization (to_bytes())
is needed, but this isn't too bad as keys are always <= 64k and thus
will not be fragmented when out of LSA. We can remove this
linearization later.
The serialize_value() template is called from a long chain, and
can be reached with either bytes_view or managed_bytes_view.
Rather than trace and adjust all the callers, we patch it now
with constexpr if.
operator bytes_view (in keys) is converted to operator
managed_bytes_view, allowing callers to defer or avoid
linearization.
But only non-validation error paths. When validating we do expect it to
maybe fail, so we don't want to generate cores for validation.
Validation is in fact a de-serialization pass with some additional
checks. To be able to keep reusing the same code for de-serialization
and validation just with different error handling, introduce a
`strict_mode` flag that can be passed to `composite::iterator`
constructor. When in strict mode (the default) the iterator will convert
any `marshal_exception` thrown during the de-serialization to
`on_internal_error()`.
We don't want anybody to use the iterator in non-strict mode, besides
validation, so the iterator constructors are made private. This is
standard practice for iterators anyway.
1. Move tests to test (using singular seems to be a convention
in the rest of the code base)
2. Move boost tests to test/boost, other
(non-boost) unit tests to test/unit, tests which are
expected to be run manually to test/manual.
Update configure.py and test.py with new paths to tests.
