The new directive and role "iscman" allow to tag & reference man pages in
our source tree. Essentially it is just namespacing for ISC man pages,
but it comes with couple benefits.
Differences from .. _man_program label we formerly used:
- Does not expand :ref:`man_program` into full text of the page header.
- Generates index entry with category "manual page".
- Rendering style is closer to ubiquitous to the one produced
by ``named`` syntax.
Differences from Sphinx built-in :manpage: role:
- Supports all builders with support for cross-references.
- Generates internal links (unlike :manpage: which generates external
URLs).
- Checks that target exists withing our source tree.

After some back and forth, it was decidede to match the configuration
option with unbound ("so-reuseport"), PowerDNS ("reuseport") and/or
nginx ("reuseport").
(cherry picked from commit 7e71c4d0cc)
Previously, the option to enable kernel load balancing of the sockets
was always enabled when supported by the operating system (SO_REUSEPORT
on Linux and SO_REUSEPORT_LB on FreeBSD).
It was reported that in scenarios where the networking threads are also
responsible for processing long-running tasks (like RPZ processing, CATZ
processing or large zone transfers), this could lead to intermitten
brownouts for some clients, because the thread assigned by the operating
system might be busy. In such scenarious, the overall performance would
be better served by threads competing over the sockets because the idle
threads can pick up the incoming traffic.
Add new configuration option (`load-balance-sockets`) to allow enabling
or disabling the load balancing of the sockets.

Remove outdated command references from ARM section
3.3.1. Tools for Use With the Name Server Daemon
and replace them with links to man pages.
Fixes: #2799
(cherry picked from commit 2d2d87a615)
Both utilities were included as one man page, but this caused a problem:
Sphinx directive .. include was used twice on the same file, which
prevented us from using labels (or anything with unique identifier) in
the man pages. This effectivelly prevented linking to them.
Splitting man pages allows us to solve the linking problems and also
clearly make text easier to follow because it does not mention two tools
at the same time.
This change causes duplication of text, but given the frequecy of changes
to these tools I think it is acceptable. I've considered deduplication
using smaller .rst snippets which get included into both man pages,
but it would require more sed scripting to handle defaults etc. and
I think it would be way too complex solution for this problem.

Add a note to the DNSSEC guide and to the ARM reference that A ZSK/KSK
pair used for signing your zone should have the same algorithm.
This commit also updates the 'dnssec-policy/keys' example to use the
slightly more modern 'rsasha256' algorithm.

For users it's not really important if a RFC is Internet Standard,
Proposed Standard, or Experimental. RFCs are now regrouped by
"Protocol", Best Current Practice, and "catch all" category FYI.

In 2022, IPv6 is not anything unusual, and it was really odd
to have it in a separate section next to a huge list of RFCs.
Fixes: #1918
(cherry picked from commit 2774b497a6)
There is little point of listing all of the obsolete RFCs. I think it is
more likely confuse people than to do anything useful.

The "directory" configuration options affects the configuration listed
after the directive but not before which may affect ``include``
directive with relative file paths.
(cherry picked from commit 00ba6967b1)
For consistency with rest of the system, the grammar file and
the link anchors were renamed from "parentals" to "parental-agents".
Technically this is fixup for commit

(reimplementation of commit 34a3b35b08)
In the RPZ documentation, there's a mistake where it states that the
default behavior will be disabled by setting `qname-wait-recurse yes;`
while in fact it's opposite `qname-wait-recurse no;`.
This affects only the RST documentation.

This commit partially removes extra RFCs which are not listed in
file doc/misc/rfc-compliance.
Most of the removed RFCs are either outright obsolete, irrelevant,
or not implemented. Rationale:
- 974 - obsolete
- 1033 - ops info, hardly followed today
- 1464 - ops info
- 1591 - policy
- 1537 - obsolete
- 1713 - obsolete
- 1794 - notimp
- 2010 - ops info
- 2052 - obsolete
- 2065 - obsolete
- 2137 - obsolete
- 2168 - obsolete
- 2240 - obsolete
- 2345 - not dns
- 2352 - not dns
- 2540 - notimp
- 2825 - notimp, info, obsolete
- 2826 - notimp
- 2929 - obsolete
- 3071 - policy
- 3090 - obsolete
- 3258 - notimp
- 6594 - iana, SSHFP
- 7216 - not dns
- 8482 - notimp
- 8490 - notimp
Probably most notable RFCs removed are:
- 8482 for special ANY handling
- 8490 for Stateful Operations
As far as I can tell BIND does not implement those.

There were three RFCs listed in list of "RFCs we implement" but missing
in the ARM.
Command to compare lists in the two documents:
diff <(grep -o '^ RFC[0-9]\+' doc/misc/rfc-compliance | sed -e 's/[^0-9]//g' | sort -n) <(grep '^:rfc:`' doc/arm/general.rst | sed -e 's/^.*`\([0-9]*\)`.*$/\1/' | sort -n)

Supported Platforms section is now really only about platforms and not
libraries. Libraries were moved to the Building BIND section.
We now have section for required libraries, and second with optional
features. Wordy explanations were taken verbatim from the original
README.md.

Plus hand-edit to remove sections other than Building BIND 9, remove
misindentation in section headers, and add a standard copyright header.
This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification. It specifically:
1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory
2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate
3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
configuration files. There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
on how to add correct headers to the new files.
4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file. The
binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
system test files.
