If we try to fetch a record from cache and need to look into
hints database we assume that the resolver is not primed and
start dns_resolver_prime(). Priming query is supposed to return
NSes for "." in ANSWER section and glue records for them in
ADDITIONAL section, so that we can fill that info in 'regular'
cache and not use hints db anymore.
However, if we're using a forwarder the priming query goes through
it, and if it's configured to return minimal answers we won't get
the addresses of root servers in ADDITIONAL section. Since the
only records for root servers we have are in hints database we'll
try to prime the resolver with every single query.
This patch adds a DNS_FETCHOPT_NOFORWARD flag which avoids using
forwarders if possible (that is if we have forward-first policy).
Using this flag on priming fetch fixes the problem as we get the
proper glue. With forward-only policy the problem is non-existent,
as we'll never ask for root server addresses because we'll never
have a need to query them.
Also added a test to confirm priming queries are not forwarded.

Since following a delegation resets most fetch context state, address
marks (FCTX_ADDRINFO_MARK) set inside lib/dns/resolver.c are not
preserved when a delegation is followed. This is fine for full
recursive resolution but when named is configured with "forward first;"
and one of the specified forwarders times out, triggering a fallback to
full recursive resolution, that forwarder should no longer be consulted
at each delegation point subsequently reached within a given fetch
context.
Add a new badnstype_t enum value, badns_forwarder, and use it to mark a
forwarder as bad when it times out in a "forward first;" configuration.
Since the bad server list is not cleaned when a fetch context follows a
delegation, this prevents a forwarder from being queried again after
falling back to full recursive resolution. Yet, as each fetch context
maintains its own list of bad servers, this change does not cause a
forwarder timeout to prevent that forwarder from being used by other
fetch contexts.

Replace dns_fixedname_init() calls followed by dns_fixedname_name()
calls with calls to dns_fixedname_initname() where it is possible
without affecting current behavior and/or performance.
This patch was mostly prepared using Coccinelle and the following
semantic patch:
@@
expression fixedname, name;
@@
- dns_fixedname_init(&fixedname);
...
- name = dns_fixedname_name(&fixedname);
+ name = dns_fixedname_initname(&fixedname);
The resulting set of changes was then manually reviewed to exclude false
positives and apply minor tweaks.
It is likely that more occurrences of this pattern can be refactored in
an identical way. This commit only takes care of the low-hanging fruit.

4859. [bug] A loop was possible when attempting to validate
unsigned CNAME responses from secure zones;
this caused a delay in returning SERVFAIL and
also increased the chances of encountering
CVE-2017-3145. [RT #46839]
4858. [security] Addresses could be referenced after being freed
in resolver.c, causing an assertion failure.
(CVE-2017-3145) [RT #46839]
4770. [bug] Cache additional data from priming queries as glue.
Previously they were ignored as unsigned
non-answer data from a secure zone, and never
actually got added to the cache, causing hints
to be used frequently for root-server
addresses, which triggered re-priming. [RT #45241]
