utils/tagged_integer: remove conversion to underlying integer
Silently converting a tagged (i.e., "dimension-ful") integer to a naked
("dimensionless") integer defeats the purpose of having tagged integers,
and is a source of practical bugs, such as
<https://github.com/scylladb/scylladb/issues/20080>.
We could make the conversion operator explicit, for enforcing
static_cast<TAGGED_INTEGER_TYPE::value_type>(TAGGED_INTEGER_VALUE)
in every conversion location -- but that's a mouthful to write. Instead,
remove the conversion operator, and let clients call the (identically
behaving) value() member function.
~~~
No backport needed (refactoring).
The series is supposed to solve #20081.
Two patches in the series touch up code that is known to be (orthogonally) buggy; see
- `service/raft_sys_table_storage: tweak dead code` (#20080)
- `test/raft/replication: untag index_t in test_case::get_first_val()` (#20151)
Fixes for those (independent) issues will have to be rebased on this series, or this series will have to be rebased on those (due to context conflicts).
The series builds at every stage. The debug and release unit test suites pass at the end.
