The various factors like NS_PER_MS are now defined in a single place
and the names are no longer inconsistent. I chose the _PER_SEC names
rather than _PER_S because it is slightly more clear in isolation;
but the smaller units are always NS, US, and MS.

The aim is to do less work per byte:
* Check the bounds for each label, instead of checking the
bounds for each character.
* Instead of copying one character at a time from the wire to
the name, copy entire runs of sequential labels using memmove()
to make the most of its fast loop.
* To remember where the name ends, we only need to set the end
marker when we see a compression pointer or when we reach the
root label. There is no need to check if we jumped back and
conditionally update the counter for every character.
* To parse a compression pointer, we no longer take a diversion
around the outer loop in between reading the upper byte of the
pointer and the lower byte.
* The parser state machine is now implicit in the instruction
pointer, instead of being an explicit variable. Similarly,
when we reach the root label we break directly out of the loop
instead of setting a second state machine variable.
* DNS_NAME_DOWNCASE is never used with dns_name_fromwire() so
that option is no longer supported.
I have removed this comment which dated from January 1999 when
dns_name_fromwire() was first introduced:
/*
* Note: The following code is not optimized for speed, but
* rather for correctness. Speed will be addressed in the future.
*/
No functional change, apart from removing support for the unused
DNS_NAME_DOWNCASE option. The new code is about 2x faster than the
old code: best case 11x faster, worst case 1.4x faster.
Lookup and set the wildcard option according to the configuration
settings. The default is on as per bin/named/config.c.

Now that the artificial limit on the recv buffer has been removed, the
current system test always fails because it tests if the truncation has
happened.
Add test that sending more than 10 headers makes the connection to
closed; and add test that sending huge HTTP request makes the connection
to be closed.

Rewrite the isc_httpd to be more robust.
1. Replace the hand-crafted HTTP request parser with picohttpparser for
parsing the whole HTTP/1.0 and HTTP/1.1 requests. Limit the number
of allowed headers to 10 (arbitrary number).
2. Replace the hand-crafted URL parser with isc_url_parse for parsing
the URL from the HTTP request.
3. Increase the receive buffer to match the isc_netmgr buffers, so we
can at least receive two full isc_nm_read()s. This makes the
truncation processing much simpler.
4. Process the received buffer from single isc_nm_read() in a single
loop and schedule the sends to be independent of each other.
The first two changes makes the code simpler and rely on already
existing libraries that we already had (isc_url based on nodejs) or are
used elsewhere (picohttpparser).
The second two changes remove the artificial "truncation" limit on
parsing multiple request. Now only a request that has too many
headers (currently 10) or is too big (so, the receive buffer fills up
without reaching end of the request) will end the connection.
We can be benevolent here with the limites, because the statschannel
channel is by definition private and access must be allowed only to
administrators of the server. There are no timers, no rate-limiting, no
upper limit on the number of requests that can be served, etc.

There was a ubsan error reporting an invalid value for interface_auto
(a boolean value cannot be 190) because it was not initialized. To
avoid this problem happening again, ensure the whole of the server
structure is initialized to zero before setting the (relatively few)
non-zero elements.
