assert() is traditionally disabled in release builds, but not in
scylladb. This hasn't caused problems so far, but the latest abseil
release includes a commit [1] that causes a 1000 insn/op regression when
NDEBUG is not defined.
Clearly, we must move towards a build system where NDEBUG is defined in
release builds. But we can't just define it blindly without vetting
all the assert() calls, as some were written with the expectation that
they are enabled in release mode.
To solve the conundrum, change all assert() calls to a new SCYLLA_ASSERT()
macro in utils/assert.hh. This macro is always defined and is not conditional
on NDEBUG, so we can later (after vetting Seastar) enable NDEBUG in release
mode.

Schema related files are moved there. This excludes schema files that
also interact with mutations, because the mutation module depends on
the schema. Those files will have to go into a separate module.
Closes#12858
Move mutation-related files to a new mutation/ directory. The names
are kept in the global namespace to reduce churn; the names are
unambiguous in any case.
mutation_reader remains in the readers/ module.
mutation_partition_v2.cc was missing from CMakeLists.txt; it's added in this
patch.
This is a step forward towards librarization or modularization of the
source base.
Closes#12788
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
Commit aab6b0ee27 introduced the
controversial new IMR format, which relied on a very template-heavy
infrastructure to generate serialization and deserialization code via
template meta-programming. The promise was that this new format, beyond
solving the problems the previous open-coded representation had (working
on linearized buffers), will speed up migrating other components to this
IMR format, as the IMR infrastructure reduces code bloat, makes the code
more readable via declarative type descriptions as well as safer.
However, the results were almost the opposite. The template
meta-programming used by the IMR infrastructure proved very hard to
understand. Developers don't want to read or modify it. Maintainers
don't want to see it being used anywhere else. In short, nobody wants to
touch it.
This commit does a conceptual revert of
aab6b0ee27. A verbatim revert is not
possible because related code evolved a lot since the merge. Also, going
back to the previous code would mean we regress as we'd revert the move
to fragmented buffers. So this revert is only conceptual, it changes the
underlying infrastructure back to the previous open-coded one, but keeps
the fragmented buffers, as well as the interface of the related
components (to the extent possible).
Fixes: #5578
converting_mutation_partition_applier is a heavyweight class that is not
used in the hot path, so it can be safely out-of-lined. This moves
some includes to boost/multiprecision out of header files, where they
can infect a lot of code.
mutation_partition_view.cc's includes were adjusted to recover
missing dependencies.
