xmlInitThreads() and xmlCleanupThreads() are called from within
ns_statschannels_configure() and ns_statschannels_shutdown(),
respectively. Both of these functions are executed by worker threads,
not the main named thread. This causes ASAN to report memory leaks like
the following one upon shutdown (as long as named is asked to produce
any XML output over its configured statistics channels during its
lifetime):
Direct leak of 968 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
#0 0x7f677c249cd8 in __interceptor_calloc /build/gcc/src/gcc/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cc:153
#1 0x7f677bc1838f in xmlGetGlobalState (/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2+0xa838f)
The data mentioned in the above report is a libxml2 state structure
stored as thread-specific data. Such chunks of memory are automatically
released (by a destructor passed to pthread_key_create() by libxml2)
whenever a thread that allocated a given chunk exits. However, if
xmlCleanupThreads() is called by a given thread before it exits, the
destructor will not be invoked (due to xmlCleanupThreads() calling
pthread_key_delete()) and ASAN will report a memory leak. Thus,
xmlInitThreads() and xmlCleanupThreads() must not be called from worker
threads. Since xmlInitThreads() must be called on Windows in order for
libxml2 to work at all, move xmlInitThreads() and xmlCleanupThreads()
calls to the main named thread (which does not produce any XML output
itself) in order to prevent the memory leak from being reported by ASAN.

Loaded GeoIP2 databases are only released when named is shut down, but
not during server reconfiguration. This causes memory to be leaked
every time "rndc reconfig" or "rndc reload" is used, as long as any
GeoIP2 database is in use. Fix by releasing any loaded GeoIP2 databases
before reloading them. Do not call dns_geoip_shutdown() until server
shutdown as that function releases the memory context used for caching
GeoIP2 lookup results.

When loading the configuration fails, there might be already other tasks
running and calling OpenSSL library functions. The OpenSSL on_exit
handler is called when exiting the main process and there's a timing
race between the on_exit function that destroys OpenSSL allocated
resources (threads, locks, ...) and other tasks accessing the very same
resources leading to a crash in the system threading library. Therefore,
the fatal() function needs to request exlusive access to the task
manager to finish the already running tasks and exit only when no other
tasks are running.

Ensure any unexpected failure in the "tcp" system test causes it to be
immediately interrupted with an error to make the aforementioned test
more reliable. Since the exit code for "expr 0 + 0" is 1, the status
variable needs to be updated using arithmetic expansion.

Ensure all checks in the "tcp" system test are numbered, so that
forensic data is preserved in case of any failure.

assert_int_equal() calls in bin/tests/system/tcp/tests.sh pass the found
value as the first argument and the expected value as the second
argument, while the function interprets its arguments the other way
round. Fix argument handling in assert_int_equal() to make sure the
error messages printed by that function are correct.

In the TCP high-water checks, "rndc stats" is run after ans6 reports
that it opened the requested number of TCP connections. However, we
fail to account for the fact that ns5 might not yet have called accept()
for these connections, in which case the counts output by "rndc stats"
will be off. To prevent intermittent "tcp" system test failures, allow
the relevant connection count checks to be retried (just once, after one
second, as that should be enough for any system to accept() a dozen TCP
connections under any circumstances).
