Petr Špaček 7177e4bc3f Tweak and reword release notes
Two inconsequential bug fixes are not release note worthy.
Use more user-centric terminology about dnssec-policy manual-mode.
Add links, shorten notes.

Notes for BIND 9.20.13
----------------------
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Add a new option ``manual-mode`` to :any:`dnssec-policy`.
When enabled, :iscman:`named` will not modify DNSSEC keys or key states
automatically. The proposed change will be logged and only after manual
confirmation with ``rndc dnssec -step`` will the modification be made.
:gl:`#4606`
- Add a new option ``servfail-until-ready`` to :namedconf:ref:`response-policy`
zones.
By default, when :iscman:`named` is started, it starts answering
queries before all response policy zones are completely loaded and
processed. This new option instructs :iscman:`named` to respond with
SERVFAIL until all the response policy zones are processed and ready.
Note that if one or more response policy zones fail to load,
:iscman:`named` starts responding to queries according to those zones
that did load.
Note, that enabling this option has no effect when a DNS Response
Policy Service (DNSRPS) interface is used. :gl:`#5222`
- Support for parsing HHIT and BRID records has been added.
:gl:`#5444`
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Deprecate the :namedconf:ref:`tkey-gssapi-credential` statement.
The :any:`tkey-gssapi-keytab` statement allows GSS-TSIG to be set up
in a simpler and more reliable way than using the
:any:`tkey-gssapi-credential` statement and setting environment
variables (e.g. ``KRB5_KTNAME``). Therefore, the
:any:`tkey-gssapi-credential` statement has been deprecated;
:any:`tkey-gssapi-keytab` should be used instead.
For configurations currently using a combination of both
:any:`tkey-gssapi-keytab` *and* :any:`tkey-gssapi-credential`, the
latter should be dropped and the keytab pointed to by
:any:`tkey-gssapi-keytab` should now only contain the credential
previously specified by :any:`tkey-gssapi-credential`. :gl:`#4204`
- Obsolete the "tkey-domain" statement.
Mark the ``tkey-domain`` statement as obsolete because it has not had
any effect on server behavior since support for TKEY Mode 2
(Diffie-Hellman) was removed (in BIND 9.20.0). :gl:`#4204`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Prevent spurious SERVFAILs for certain 0-TTL resource records.
Under certain circumstances, BIND 9 can return SERVFAIL when updating
existing entries in the cache with new NS, A, AAAA, or DS records that have a
TTL of zero. :gl:`#5294`
- Fix unexpected termination if :namedconf:ref:`catalog-zones` had undefined
``default-primaries``.
The issue manifested only if the server was reloaded or reconfigured twice.
:gl:`#5494`
