There are a couple of problems with dns_request_createvia(): a UDP
retry count of zero means unlimited retries (it should mean no
retries), and the overall request timeout is not enforced. The
combination of these bugs means that requests can be retried forever.
This change alters calls to dns_request_createvia() to avoid the
infinite retry bug by providing an explicit retry count. Previously,
the calls specified infinite retries and relied on the limit implied
by the overall request timeout and the UDP timeout (which did not work
because the overall timeout is not enforced). The `udpretries`
argument is also changed to be the number of retries; previously, zero
was interpreted as infinity because of an underflow to UINT_MAX, which
appeared to be a mistake. And `mdig` is updated to match the change in
retry accounting.
The bug could be triggered by zone maintenance queries, including
NOTIFY messages, DS parental checks, refresh SOA queries and stub zone
nameserver lookups. It could also occur with `nsupdate -r 0`.
(But `mdig` had its own code to avoid the bug.)

After some back and forth, it was decidede to match the configuration
option with unbound ("so-reuseport"), PowerDNS ("reuseport") and/or
nginx ("reuseport").

Use the new role :iscman: to replace all occurences or ``binary``
with :iscman:`binary`, creating a hyperlink to the manual page.
Generated using:
find bin -name *.rst | xargs fgrep --files-with-matches '.. iscman' | xargs -I{} -n1 basename {} .rst > /tmp/progs
for PROG in $(cat /tmp/progs); do find -name '*.rst' | xargs sed -i -e "s/\`\`$PROG\`\`/:iscman:\`$PROG\`/g"; done
Additional hand-edits were done mainly around filter-aaaa and
filter-a which are program names and and option names at the
same time. Couple more edits was neede to fix .rst syntax broken by
automatic replacement.

We started with compilation of _all_ 9.17.z notes into one file:
$ ls *.17*.rst | sort -V | xargs cat > notes-9.18.0.rst
Then removed removed duplicate extra copyright headers:
$ grep -v '^\.\. [^_]' notes-9.18.0.rst > notes-9.18.0.rst.copy
$ grep -v '^\.\.$' notes-9.18.0.rst.copy > notes-9.18.0.rst
$ vim notes-9.17.0.rst notes-9.18.0.rst
Next step was to find notes referencing the changes which were
backported to 9.16.25 and remove these. Duplicites were checked
by diffing corresponding texts in 9.16 and 9.17, and it revealed that
some backports were either partial, or code was backported but the
release note was lost in 9.16 branch. In that case we did not
re-introduce the relnote and considered it also duplicate.
Most notable cases of "missing in 9.16 relnote but in fact fixed"
were notes for CVE-2020-8616 and CVE-2020-8617.
These were accidentally omitted from 9.16 release docs, and we are going
to fix it in separate MR !5722.
Further removals include:
- Security issue #2787: The bug was introduced & fixed in 9.17.z,
so there is no need to tell about it to people upgrading to 9.18.0.
- Bugfix !3135: Backported but with unclear reference in relnotes.
- Bugfix !3137: Backported but with unclear reference in relnotes.
- Bugfix #2460: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2504: The bug was introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2562: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #2917: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z
- Bugfix #3040: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Bugfix #3062: Introduced & fixed in 9.17.z.
- Change #4: Introduced & "finished" in 9.17.z.
- Change #1610: Introduced & reverted in 9.17.z.
- Change #1958: No user visible impact.
- Change #2016: No user visible impact.
- Change #2022: No user visible impact.
- Change #2264: Affects a feature introduced only to 9.17 branch.
- Change #2401: No user visible impact.
- Known issue about libuv: Got fixed later in the cycle.
- Known issue about port clash: It is now config error.
Then tweaking started to clarify meaning of various notes to people
upgrading from 9.16.
While doing so, bugfix #2927 was omited because the change just makes
9.18 SERVFAIL faster than 9.16, so even though it is technically bugfix
it is so minor that it is not worth bragging about in release notes.
TLS/DoT/DoH features were summarized from many independent
notes into one giant note per feature.
All notes were rearranged according to their "perceived priority".
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
