Instead of the explicit struct initializer with all member, rely on the fact
that static variables are explicitly initialized to 0 if not explicitly
initialized.
- revise mapping of search terms to database types to match the
GeoIP2 schemas.
- open GeoIP2 databases when starting up; close when shutting down.
- clarify the logged error message when an unknown database type
is configured.
- add new geoip ACL subtypes to support searching for continent in
country databases.
- map geoip ACL subtypes to specific MMDB database queries.
- perform MMDB lookups based on subtype, saving state between
queries so repeated lookups for the same address aren't necessary.
4708. [cleanup] Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
are no longer supported. [RT #45186]
4707. [func] The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]
4706. [func] Code implementing name server query processing has
been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
with "named_" rather than "ns_". This will make it
easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
link name server functionality into new tools.

4003. [security] When geoip-directory was reconfigured during
named run-time, the previously loaded GeoIP
data could remain, potentially causing wrong
ACLs to be used or wrong results to be served
based on geolocation. [RT #37720]
4002. [security] Lookups in GeoIP databases that were not
loaded could cause an assertion failure.
[RT #37679]
4001. [security] The caching of GeoIP lookups did not always
handle address families correctly, potentially
resulting in an assertion failure. [RT #37672]
3715. [bug] The region and city databases could fail to
initialize when using some versions of libGeoIP,
causing assertion failures when named was
configured to use them. [RT #35427]
3504. [func] Add support for ACLs based on geographic location,
using MaxMind GeoIP databases. Based on code
contributed by Ken Brownfield <kb@slide.com>.
[RT #30681]
