when findnode() is called with the 'create' flag set, instead of
automatically opening a write transaction, we will now try to look up
the name with a read transaction, and only open a write transaction if
that failed.
in the qpcnode struct, the .delegating, .nsec, and .dirty
members are now atomic, enabling us to avoid acquiring the
node lock when those are the only things we need to check.
also, renamed the check_zonecut() function to the more
correctly descriptive has_dname().
isc_loop_rcu_barrier() sets a flag so that rcu_barrier() will be
called at the end of the current loop tick. This allows us to minimize
time spent synchronizing between threads.
As part of the KeyTrap \[CVE-2023-50387\] mitigation, the DNSSEC CPU-intensive operations were offloaded to a separate threadpool that we use to run other tasks that could affect the networking latency.
If that threadpool is running some long-running tasks like RPZ, catalog zone processing, or zone file operations, it would delay DNSSEC validations to a point where the resolving signed DNS records would fail.
Split the CPU-intensive and long-running tasks into separate threadpools in a way that the long-running tasks don't block the CPU-intensive operations.

Currently, the isc_work API is overloaded. It runs both the
CPU-intensive operations like DNSSEC validations and long-term tasks
like RPZ processing, CATZ processing, zone file loading/dumping and few
others.
Under specific circumstances, when many large zones are being loaded, or
RPZ zones processed, this stops the CPU-intensive tasks and the DNSSEC
validation is practically stopped until the long-running tasks are
finished.
As this is undesireable, this commit moves the CPU-intensive operations
from the isc_work API to the isc_helper API that only runs fast memory
cleanups now.
Add an extra thread that can be used to offload operations that would
affect latency, but are not long-running tasks; those are handled by
isc_work API.
Each isc_loop now has matching isc_helper thread that also built on top
of uv_loop. In fact, it matches most of the isc_loop functionality, but
only the `isc_helper_run()` asynchronous call is exposed.
When verifying a message in an offloaded thread there is a race with
the worker thread which writes to the same buffer. Clone the message
buffer before offloading.

This change allows fallback from an IXFR failure to AXFR when the reason is `DNS_R_TOOMANYRECORDS`. This is because this error condition could be temporary only in an intermediate version of IXFR transactions and it's possible that the latest version of the zone doesn't have that condition. In such a case, the secondary would never be able to update the zone (even if it could) without this fallback.
This fallback behavior is particularly useful with the recently introduced `max-records-per-type` and `max-types-per-name` options: the primary may not have these limitations and may temporarily introduce "too many" records, breaking IXFR. If the primary side subsequently deletes these records, this fallback will help recover the zone transfer failure automatically; without it, the secondary side would first need to increase the limit, which requires more operational overhead and has its own adverse effect.

The rcu_xchg_pointer() function can be used outside of a critical
section, and usually must be followed by a synchronize_rcu() or
call_rcu() call to detach from the resource, unless if there are
some guarantees in place because of our own reference counting.
