When backporting the Don't Fragment UDP socket option, it was noticed
that the edns-udp-size probing uses 1432 as one of the values to be
probed and the documentation would be recommending 1400 as the safe
value. As the safe value can be from the 1400-1500 interval, the
documentation has been changed to match the probed value, so we do not
skip it.
Instead of just disabling the PMTUD mechanism on the UDP sockets, we
now set IP_DONTFRAG (IPV6_DONTFRAG) flag. That means that the UDP
packets won't get ever fragmented. If the ICMP packets are lost the
UDP will just timeout and eventually be retried over TCP.
Expand the description of mirror zones in the ARM by adding a brief
discussion of how the validation process works for AXFR and IXFR. Move
the paragraph mentioning the "file" option higher up. Apply minor
stylistic and whitespace-related tweaks to the relevant section of the
ARM.

Improve the description of the "max-cache-size" option in the ARM by
focusing on its meaning for multiple views and default values.

Commit 070c5fff49 updated the man pages
to contents produced using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.17.1
However, sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2 is incompatible with versions 0.17+ of
the docutils package. This problem was addressed in the Docker image
used for building man pages by downgrading the docutils package to
version 0.16.
Regenerate the man pages again, this time using:
- Sphinx 4.0.2
- sphinx-rtd-theme 0.5.2
- docutils 0.16
This is necessary to prevent the "docs" GitLab CI job from failing.
(cherry picked from commit 6a2daddf5b)
The default value of the "man_make_section_directory" Sphinx option was
changed in Sphinx 4.0.1, which broke building man pages in maintainer
mode as the shell code in doc/man/Makefile.am expects man pages to be
built in doc/man/_build/man/, not doc/man/_build/man/<section_number>/.
The aforementioned change in defaults was reverted in Sphinx 4.0.2, but
this issue should still be prevented from reoccurring in the future.
Ensure that by explicitly setting the "man_make_section_directory"
option to False.
(cherry picked from commit 9ec83d1f63)
The man pages produced by Sphinx 4.0.2 are slightly different than those
produced by Sphinx 3.5.4. As Sphinx 4.0.2 is now used in GitLab CI,
update all doc/man/*in files so that they reflect what that version of
Sphinx produces, in order to prevent GitLab CI job failures.

To ensure that a release with outdated copyright year is not produced at
the beginning of a year, set copyright year to the current year.
(cherry picked from commit 7eb44b05c5)
When the feature was backported, we should have leave it disabled by
default, it turns out the default `100%` is producing some unexpected
results (under investigation), so for the time being, we are going to to
disable the max-ixfr-ratio.
Update the ARM to mention the new built-in "insecure" policy. Update
the DNSSEC guide recipe "Revert to unsigned" to add the additional
step of reconfiguring the zone to "insecure" (instead of immediately
set it to "none").

By default readthedocs.org uses Sphinx 1.8.5, but MR !4563 has
introduced depedency on ReferenceRole class which is available only in
Sphinx 2.0.0.
Path to doc/arm/requirements.txt needs to be configured in
readthedocs.org.
