Evan Hunt 62c85a4a52 [master] allow different time formats: local, iso8601, iso8601-utc
4518.	[func]		The "print-time" option in the logging configuration
			can now take arguments "local", "iso8601" or
			"iso8601-utc" to indicate the format in which the
			date and time should be logged. For backward
			compatibility, "yes" is a synonym for "local".

Added the ability to specify the maximum number of records
permitted in a zone (<option>max-records #;</option>).
This provides a mechanism to block overly large zone
transfers, which is a potential risk with slave zones from
other parties, as described in CVE-2016-6170.
