Adapted from the Linux kernel's Documentation/process/coding-assistants.rst
to the BIND 9 context. Adds three subsections under the existing
"Guidelines for Tool-Generated Content" section:
- Licensing and legal requirements (MPL-2.0, SPDX identifiers).
- Signed-off-by and Developer Certificate of Origin: AI agents must
not add Signed-off-by trailers; only the human submitter may
certify the DCO.
- Attribution: the Assisted-by: AGENT_NAME:MODEL_VERSION trailer
for recording AI involvement, with an explicit prohibition on
AI-added Co-Authored-By trailers (Co-Authored-By designates a
human co-author who shares responsibility).
(cherry picked from commit 2339bcd493)
Add short notes in CONTRIBUTING.md telling automated agents to append
🤖 to the title of issues and merge requests so they can be routed
through the streamlined agent triage/merge process.

In the last few years, the capabilities of coding tools have exploded.
As those capabilities have expanded, contributors and maintainers have
more and more questions about how and when to apply those capabilities.
Add new documentation to guide contributors on how to best use BIND 9
development tools, new and old.
In short: Please show your work and make sure your contribution is
easy to review.
This has been adopted from the Linux Kernel guidelines.

(cherry picked from commit 39485c1f70)
To follow current best practices, create a short SECURITY.md file in the
root of the repository that contains information about the project's
security policy and guidelines for reporting potential security issues.
Replace the relevant bits of text in other files with references to the
new SECURITY.md file, so that the relevant information only needs to be
maintained in one place.
Replace all occurrences of the generic security-officer@isc.org email
with a dedicated address for reporting BIND 9 security issues,
bind-security@isc.org.

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.
