Add a new option 'purge-keys' to 'dnssec-policy' that will purge key
files for deleted keys. The option determines how long key files
should be retained prior to removing the corresponding files from
disk.
If set to 0, the option is disabled and 'named' will not remove key
files from disk.

Upon request from Mark, change the configuration of salt to salt
length.
Introduce a new function 'dns_zone_checknsec3aram' that can be used
upon reconfiguration to check if the existing NSEC3 parameters are
in sync with the configuration. If a salt is used that matches the
configured salt length, don't change the NSEC3 parameters.

The current serve-stale implementation in BIND 9 stores all received
records in the cache for a max-stale-ttl interval (default 12 hours).
This allows DNS operators to turn the serve-stale answers in an event of
large authoritative DNS outage. The caching of the stale answers needs
to be enabled before the outage happens or the feature would be
otherwise useless.
The negative consequence of the default setting is the inevitable
cache-bloat that happens for every and each DNS operator running named.
In this MR, a new configuration option `stale-cache-enable` is
introduced that allows the operators to selectively enable or disable
the serve-stale feature of BIND 9 based on their decision.
The newly introduced option has been disabled by default,
e.g. serve-stale is disabled in the default configuration and has to be
enabled if required.

The ARM and the manpages have been converted into Sphinx documentation
format.
Sphinx uses reStructuredText as its markup language, and many of its
strengths come from the power and straightforwardness of
reStructuredText and its parsing and translating suite, the Docutils.
