In df53293, the SigMF spec was converted from Markdown to a JSON schema. Minimum and maximum values were added for many fields. In particular, the core:num_channels field got a maximum value of 1000. The Markdown specification did not specify a maximum value for core:num_channels, so in a sense this is a breaking change between v1.2.1 and v1.2.0 of the spec.
The limitation breaks some usage of SigMF to represent channelizer data, such as the output of the a polyphase-filterbank, or (power-detected) spectrogram data.
This removes the limitation by setting the max value to 2**63 - 1, which is the max value used for other fields.
