named_os_openfile was being called with switch_user set to true
unconditionally leading to log messages about being unable to
switch user identity from named when regenerating the key.

When running on Linux and system capabilities are available, named will
drop the extra capabilities before loading the configuration. This led
to spurious warnings from `seteuid()` because named already dropped
CAP_SETUID and CAP_GETUID capabilities.
The fix removes setting the effective uid/gid when capabilities are
available, and adds a check that we are running under the user we were
requested to run.

All our MSVS Project files share the same intermediate directory. We
know that this doesn't cause any problems, so we can just disable the
detection in the project files.
Example of the warning:
warning MSB8028: The intermediate directory (.\Release\) contains files shared from another project (dnssectool.vcxproj). This can lead to incorrect clean and rebuild behavior.
(cherry picked from commit b6c2012d93)
Our vcxproj files set the WarningLevel to Level3, which is too verbose
for a code that needs to be portable. That basically leads to ignoring
all the errors that MSVC produces. This commits downgrades the
WarningLevel to Level1 and enables treating warnings as errors for
Release builds. For the Debug builds the WarningLevel got upgraded to
Level4, and treating warnings as errors is explicitly disabled.
We should eventually make the code clean of all MSVC warnings, but it's
a long way to go for Level4, so it's more reasonable to start at Level1.
For reference[1], these are the warning levels as described by MSVC
documentation:
* /W0 suppresses all warnings. It's equivalent to /w.
* /W1 displays level 1 (severe) warnings. /W1 is the default setting
in the command-line compiler.
* /W2 displays level 1 and level 2 (significant) warnings.
* /W3 displays level 1, level 2, and level 3 (production quality)
warnings. /W3 is the default setting in the IDE.
* /W4 displays level 1, level 2, and level 3 warnings, and all level 4
(informational) warnings that aren't off by default. We recommend
that you use this option to provide lint-like warnings. For a new
project, it may be best to use /W4 in all compilations. This option
helps ensure the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.
* /Wall displays all warnings displayed by /W4 and all other warnings
that /W4 doesn't include — for example, warnings that are off by
default.
* /WX treats all compiler warnings as errors. For a new project, it
may be best to use /WX in all compilations; resolving all warnings
ensures the fewest possible hard-to-find code defects.

cppcheck 1.90 reports the following issue for bin/named/query.c:
bin/named/query.c:6838:2: warning: %d in format string (no. 3) requires 'int' but the argument type is 'unsigned int'. [invalidPrintfArgType_sint]

Tweak the format specifier for client->query.restarts to address the
problem.
Before this change, there was a missing blank line between the
negative trust anchors for one view, and the heading line for the next
view. This is because dns_ntatable_totext() omits the last newline.
There is an example of the incorrect output below; the fixed output
has a blank line before "Start view auth".

xmlInitThreads() and xmlCleanupThreads() are called from within
ns_statschannels_configure() and ns_statschannels_shutdown(),
respectively. Both of these functions are executed by worker threads,
not the main named thread. This causes ASAN to report memory leaks like
the following one upon shutdown (as long as named is asked to produce
any XML output over its configured statistics channels during its
lifetime):
Direct leak of 968 byte(s) in 1 object(s) allocated from:
#0 0x7f677c249cd8 in __interceptor_calloc /build/gcc/src/gcc/libsanitizer/asan/asan_malloc_linux.cc:153
#1 0x7f677bc1838f in xmlGetGlobalState (/usr/lib/libxml2.so.2+0xa838f)
The data mentioned in the above report is a libxml2 state structure
stored as thread-specific data. Such chunks of memory are automatically
released (by a destructor passed to pthread_key_create() by libxml2)
whenever a thread that allocated a given chunk exits. However, if
xmlCleanupThreads() is called by a given thread before it exits, the
destructor will not be invoked (due to xmlCleanupThreads() calling
pthread_key_delete()) and ASAN will report a memory leak. Thus,
xmlInitThreads() and xmlCleanupThreads() must not be called from worker
threads. Since xmlInitThreads() must be called on Windows in order for
libxml2 to work at all, move xmlInitThreads() and xmlCleanupThreads()
calls to the main named thread (which does not produce any XML output
itself) in order to prevent the memory leak from being reported by ASAN.

Loaded GeoIP2 databases are only released when named is shut down, but
not during server reconfiguration. This causes memory to be leaked
every time "rndc reconfig" or "rndc reload" is used, as long as any
GeoIP2 database is in use. Fix by releasing any loaded GeoIP2 databases
before reloading them. Do not call dns_geoip_shutdown() until server
shutdown as that function releases the memory context used for caching
GeoIP2 lookup results.

When loading the configuration fails, there might be already other tasks
running and calling OpenSSL library functions. The OpenSSL on_exit
handler is called when exiting the main process and there's a timing
race between the on_exit function that destroys OpenSSL allocated
resources (threads, locks, ...) and other tasks accessing the very same
resources leading to a crash in the system threading library. Therefore,
the fatal() function needs to request exlusive access to the task
manager to finish the already running tasks and exit only when no other
tasks are running.

Previously, there was no limit to the number of concurrently served
queries over one pipelined TCP connection; an unlimited number of
queries sent over a single TCP connection could have potentially
exhausted the server's resources.
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.

Until now, the build process for BIND on Windows involved upgrading the
solution file to the version of Visual Studio used on the build host.
Unfortunately, the executable used for that (devenv.exe) is not part of
Visual Studio Build Tools and thus there is no clean way to make that
executable part of a Windows Server container.
Luckily, the solution upgrade process boils down to just adding XML tags
to Visual Studio project files and modifying certain XML attributes - in
files which we pregenerate anyway using win32utils/Configure. Thus,
extend win32utils/Configure with three new command line parameters that
enable it to mimic what "devenv.exe bind9.sln /upgrade" does. This
makes the devenv.exe build step redundant and thus facilitates building
BIND in Windows Server containers.

Make stderr fully buffered on Windows to improve named performance when
it is logging to stderr, which happens e.g. in system tests. Note that:
- line buffering (_IOLBF) is unavailable on Windows,
- fflush() is called anyway after each log message gets written to the
default stderr logging channels created by libisc.

BIND system tests are run in a Cygwin environment. Apparently Cygwin
shell sets the SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX bit in its process error mode which
is then inherited by all spawned child processes. This bit prevents the
Windows Error Reporting dialog from being displayed, which I assume is
part of an effort to contain memory handling errors triggered by Cygwin
binaries in the Cygwin environment. Unfortunately, this also prevents
automatic crash dump creation by Windows Error Reporting and Cygwin
itself does not handle memory errors in native Windows processes spawned
from a Cygwin shell.
Fix by clearing the SEM_NOGPFAULTERRORBOX bit inside named if it is
started in a Cygwin environment, thus overriding the Cygwin-set process
error mode in order to enable Windows Error Reporting to handle all
named crashes.

When libxml2 is to be used in a multi-threaded application, the
xmlInitThreads() function must be called before any other libxml2
function. This function does different things on various platforms and
thus one can get away without calling it on Unix systems, but not on
Windows, where it initializes critical section objects used for
synchronizing access to data structures shared between threads. Add the
missing xmlInitThreads() call to prevent crashes on affected systems.
Also add a matching xmlCleanupThreads() call to properly release the
resources set up by xmlInitThreads().
