Administrators may wish to constrain the set of cores that BIND 9 runs
on via the 'taskset', 'cpuset' or 'numactl' programs (or equivalent on
other O/S), for example to achieve higher (or more stable) performance
by more closely associating threads with individual NIC rx queues. If
the admin has used taskset, it follows that BIND ought to
automatically use the given number of CPUs rather than the system wide
count.

Although the nanual page of malloc_usable_size says:
Although the excess bytes can be over‐written by the application
without ill effects, this is not good programming practice: the
number of excess bytes in an allocation depends on the underlying
implementation.
it looks like the premise is broken with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 on newer
systems and it might return a value that causes program to stop with
"buffer overflow" detected from the _FORTIFY_SOURCE. As we do have own
implementation that tracks the allocation size that we can use to track
the allocation size, we can stop relying on this introspection function.
Also the newer manual page for malloc_usable_size changed the NOTES to:
The value returned by malloc_usable_size() may be greater than the
requested size of the allocation because of various internal
implementation details, none of which the programmer should rely on.
This function is intended to only be used for diagnostics and
statistics; writing to the excess memory without first calling
realloc(3) to resize the allocation is not supported. The returned
value is only valid at the time of the call.
Remove usage of both malloc_usable_size() and malloc_size() to be on the
safe size and only use the internal size tracking mechanism when
jemalloc is not available.

Since we don't use networking directly but rather via libuv, these
configure options were no-op. Remove the configure checks for epoll
(Linux), kqueue (BSDs) and /dev/poll (Solaris).

Utilize developers' muscle memory to incentivize using the pytest runner
instead of the legacy one. The script also serves as basic examples of
how to run the pyest command to achieve the same results as the legacy
runner.
Invoking pytest directly should be the end goal, since it offers many
potentially useful options (refer to pytest --help).

(also manually added a additional run.sh -> legacy.run.sh renames)
We don't need them in the repo, it's sufficient if we pregenerate them
while preparing the tarball. That way we don't have overhead while
modifying them but they are still available for installations without
Sphinx.
I assume that this will make rebases and cherry-picks across branches
easier, with less trial and error churn required in the CI.
It's implemented in the way that we build the manpages only when we
either have pregenerated pages available at the configure time or
sphinx-build is installed and working.

The implementation of UDP recvmmsg in libuv 1.35 and 1.36 is
incomplete and could cause assertion failure under certain
circumstances.
Modify the configure and runtime checks to report a fatal error when
trying to compile or run with the affected versions.

The --enable-dnsrps-dl switch for ./configure enables preparing a
DNSRPS-enabled build of BIND 9 that is not directly linked against a
DNSRPS provider library (dlopen() at runtime is used instead). Employ
this switch to test DNSRPS-enabled builds in the pairwise testing job in
GitLab CI.

Prefer the pthread_barrier implementation on platforms where it is
available over uv_barrier implementation. This also solves the problem
with thread sanitizer builds on macOS that doesn't have pthread barrier.

The NetBSD system allocator is in fact based on the jemalloc, but it
doesn't export the extended interface, so we can't use that. Remove
the jemalloc enforcement for the NetBSD.
(cherry picked from commit feea72414b)
When jemalloc is the system allocator (on FreeBSD and NetBSD), trying
to build --without-jemalloc caused an obscure compiler error. Instead,
complain at configure time that --without-jemalloc cannot work. (It
needs to remain an error because it is vexing when configure quietly
ignores an explicit direction.)

previously, when ISC_BUFFER_USEINLINE was defined, macros were
used to implement isc_buffer primitives (isc_buffer_init(),
isc_buffer_region(), etc). these macros were missing the DbC
assertions for those primitives, which made it possible for
coding errors to go undetected.
adding the assertions to the macros caused compiler warnings on
some platforms. therefore, this commit converts the ISC__BUFFER
macros to static inline functions instead, with assertions included,
and eliminates the non-inline implementation from buffer.c.
the --enable-buffer-useinline configure option has been removed.
