This is an initial pass at doing explicit value checks when handling
config parsing, as opposed to using a visiting pattern. The latter
made it difficult to check for conditions such as missing required
values, multiple values, etc.
It was also generally less readable (think declarative) which further
made it difficult to get a grasp for what our actual configuration file
requirements were.
This commit reflects changes to clang-format rules. Unfortunately,
these rule changes create a massive change to the codebase, which
causes an apparent rewrite of git history.
Git blame's --ignore-rev flag can be used to ignore this commit when
attempting to `git blame` some code.
fromEnv here wasn't usefully templatized (the base template basically
couldn't be used for anything except a string anyway), so just replaced
it with the overloads we need and moved the implementations out of the
header.
Step 1 of removing abseil from lokinet.
For the most part this is a drop-in replacement, but there are also a
few changes here to the JSONRPC layer that were needed to work around
current gcc 10 dev snapshot:
- JSONRPC returns a json now instead of an optional<json>. It doesn't
make any sense to have a json rpc call that just closes the connection
with returning anything. Invoked functions can return a null (default
constructed) result now if they don't have anything to return (such a
null value won't be added as "result").
