Changing the default for max-recursion-queries from 100 to 32 was too
strict in some cases, especially lookups in reverse IPv6 trees started
to fail more frequently. From issue #4921 it looks like 50 is a better
default.
Now that we have 'max-query-count' as a global limit of outgoing queries
per client request, we can increase the default for
'max-recursion-queries' again, as the number of recursive queries is
no longer bound by the multiple of 'max-recursion-queries' and
'max-query-restarts'.
(cherry picked from commit 84df920d9e)
Add another option to configure how many outgoing queries per
client request is allowed. The existing 'max-recursion-queries' is
per restart, this one is a global limit.

The DLZ modules are poorly maintained as we only ensure they can still
be compiled, the DLZ interface is blocking, so anything that blocks the
query to the database blocks the whole server and they should not be
used except in testing. The DLZ interface itself should be scheduled
for removal.

Keeping the Known Issues as part of the rendered docs has the issue that
the list can't be updated on the official docs website until the next
release. This is unpractical is a high-priority issue is discovered
shortly after a release. Keep the Known Issues in wiki and simply link
to the list from the rendered docs. The wiki article can be updated at
any time as needed.
With the introduction of the generated changelog, the CHANGES file
became a symlink to doc/arm/changelog.rst. After the changes made in
!9549, the changelog file transitioned from being a wholly generated
file to one that includes versioned changelog files, which are
themselves generated. However, while implementing !9549, we overlooked
that the CHANGES file is copied to a release directory on an FTP server
and contains just "include" directives, not the changelog itself.
Therefore, in the same fashion as the "RELEASE-NOTES*.html" file, create
a "CHANGELOG*.html" file that redirects to the Changelog appendix of the
ARM.

Enforcing pylint standards and default for our test code seems
counter-productive. Since most of the newly added code are tests or is
test-related, encountering these checks rarely make us refactor the code
in other ways and we just disable these checks individually. Code that
is too complex or convoluted will be pointed out in reviews anyways.

With Sphinx 8.1.0, footnotes can't stand on their own and have
referenced from somewhere:

Keeping a single changelog file creates annoying conflicts when rebasing
the -S version. To eliminate these, keep the changelog for each version
in a separate file and also create files for the -S versions to include
them in the docs. In the open source version, these files will remain
empty and thus won't affect the documentation, while in the -S edition
they'll be filled in and included without introducing any conflicts.
The statements that already exist in the grammar can't be created with
the namedconf:statement. Use a plain definition list for these
statements and add a manual anchor for each one so links to them can be
created.
Avoid using the :any: syntax in the definition lists, as that just
creates a link to the duplicate and completely unrelated statement,
which just makes the documentation more confusing.
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.

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.

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.
(cherry picked from commit e9b6031e0c)
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.
