This variable will report the maximum number of simultaneous tcp clients
that BIND has served while running.
It can be verified by running rndc status, then inspect "tcp high-water:
count", or by generating statistics file, rndc stats, then inspect the
line with "TCP connection high-water" text.
The tcp-highwater variable is atomically updated based on an existing
tcp-quota system handled in ns/client.c.
(cherry picked from commit 66fe8627de)
Add {isc,ns}_stats_{update_if_greater,get_counter}() functions that
are used to set and collect high-water type of statistics.

The isc_stat_t type was too similar to isc_stats_t type, so the name was
changed to something more distinguishable.

For TCP high-water work, we need to keep the used integer types widths
in sync.
Note: int_fast32_t is used on WIN32 platform

Intertwining release notes from different BIND releases in a single XML
file has caused confusion in the past due to different (and often
arbitrary) approaches to keeping/removing release notes from older
releases on different BIND branches. Divide doc/arm/notes.xml into
per-version sections to simplify determining the set of changes
introduced by a given release and to make adding/reviewing release notes
less error-prone.

The named_g_defaultdnstap was never used as the dnstap requires

Portion of the digdelv test are skipped on IPv6 due to extra quotes
around $TESTSOCK6: "I:digdelv:IPv6 unavailable; skipping".

EDNS mechanisms only apply to DNS over UDP. Thus, errors encountered
while sending DNS queries over TCP must not influence EDNS timeout
statistics.
(cherry picked from commit fce3c93ea2)
If a TCP connection fails while attempting to send a query to a server,
the fetch context will be restarted without marking the target server as
a bad one. If this happens for a server which:
- was already marked with the DNS_FETCHOPT_EDNS512 flag,
- responds to EDNS queries with the UDP payload size set to 512 bytes,
- does not send response packets larger than 512 bytes,
and the response for the query being sent is larger than 512 byes, then
named will pointlessly alternate between sending UDP queries with EDNS
UDP payload size set to 512 bytes (which are responded to with truncated
answers) and TCP connections until the fetch context retry limit is
reached. Prevent such query loops by marking the server as bad for a
given fetch context if the advertised EDNS UDP payload size for that
server gets reduced to 512 bytes and it is impossible to reach it using
TCP.

I was truncating zone files for experimental purposes when I found
that `named-compilezone | head` got stuck. The full command line that
exhibited the problem was:
dig axfr dotat.at |
named-compilezone -o /dev/stdout dotat.at /dev/stdin |
head
This requires a large enough zone to exhibit the problem, more than
about 70000 bytes of plain text output from named-compilezone.
I was running the command on Debian Stretch amd64.
This was puzzling since it looked like something was suppressing the
SIGPIPE. I used `strace` to examine what was happening at the hang.
The program was just calling write() a lot to print the zone file, and
the last write() hanged until I sent it a SIGINT.
During some discussion with friends, Ian Jackson guessed that opening
/dev/stdout O_RDRW might be the problem, and after some tests we found
that this does in fact suppress SIGPIPE.
Since `named-compilezone` only needs to write to its output file, the
fix is to omit the stdio "+" update flag.
