Add notes to the 'fetches-per-zone' and 'fetches-per-server' clauses
documentation to document that prefetches are exempted.

The 'set' datatype in Python does not provide iteration-order
guarantees related to insertion-order. That means that its
usage in the 'split_csv' helper function during documentation
build can produce nondeterministic results.
That is non-desirable for two reasons: it means that the
documentation output may appear to vary unnecessarily between
builds, and secondly there could be loss-of-information in cases
where tag order in the source documentation is significant.
This patch implements order-preserving de-duplication of tags,
allowing authors to specify tags using intentional priority
ordering, while also removing tags that appear more than once.

Add a new configuration option to enable Offline KSK key management.
Offline KSK cannot work with CSK because it splits how keys with the
KSK and ZSK role operate. Therefore, one key cannot have both roles.
Add a configuration check to ensure this.

Since we've started the new changelog & release notes process, the file
for drafting release notes for the version-to-be is no longer needed.

LaTeX in CI and on ReadTheDocs fails to render a PDF version of ARM if
the Changelog section is included. The running theory is that the
verbatim section of more than twenty thousand lines is too big to meet
LaTeX self-imposed constraints, and it fails with:
! TeX capacity exceeded, sorry [main memory size=5000000].
Or it just hangs if extra_mem_bot=30000000 is set in
/etc/texmf/texmf.d/01main_memory_bump.cnf:
! Dimension too large.

Make each BIND 9 release a separate code block to work around the issue.
Further split up the sections for some exceptionally large releases, for
the same reason.

implement, document, and test the 'max-query-restarts' option
which specifies the query restart limit - the number of times
we can follow CNAMEs before terminating resolution.

Create new changelog and include it in the documentation. Include the
previous CHANGES as plain text without any markup.

A different solution in the future might be adopted depending
on feedback and other new information, so it makes sense to mark
these options as EXPERIMENTAL until we have more data.
In order to protect from a malicious DNS client that sends many
queries with a SIG(0)-signed message, add a quota of simultaneously
running SIG(0) checks.
This protection can only help when named is using more than one worker
threads. For example, if named is running with the '-n 4' option, and
'sig0checks-quota 2;' is used, then named will make sure to not use
more than 2 workers for the SIG(0) signature checks in parallel, thus
leaving the other workers to serve the remaining clients which do not
use SIG(0)-signed messages.
That limitation is going to change when SIG(0) signature checks are
offloaded to "slow" threads in a future commit.
The 'sig0checks-quota-exempt' ACL option can be used to exempt certain
clients from the quota requirements using their IP or network addresses.
The 'sig0checks-quota-maxwait-ms' option is used to define a maximum
amount of time for named to wait for a quota to appear. If during that
time no new quota becomes available, named will answer to the client
with DNS_R_REFUSED.
Previously, the number of RR types for a single owner name was limited
only by the maximum number of the types (64k). As the data structure
that holds the RR types for the database node is just a linked list, and
there are places where we just walk through the whole list (again and
again), adding a large number of RR types for a single owner named with
would slow down processing of such name (database node).
Add a configurable limit to cap the number of the RR types for a single
owner. This is enforced at the database (rbtdb, qpzone, qpcache) level
and configured with new max-types-per-name configuration option that
can be configured globally, per-view and per-zone.
Previously, the number of RRs in the RRSets were internally unlimited.
As the data structure that holds the RRs is just a linked list, and
there are places where we just walk through all of the RRs, adding an
RRSet with huge number of RRs inside would slow down processing of said
RRSets.
Add a configurable limit to cap the number of the RRs in a single RRSet.
This is enforced at the database (rbtdb, qpzone, qpcache) level and
configured with new max-records-per-type configuration option that can
be configured globally, per-view and per-zone.
Changed the default value for 'allow-transfer' to 'none'; zone
transfers now require explicit authorization.
Updated all system tests to specify an allow-transfer ACL when needed.
Revised the ARM to specify that the default is 'none'.
