Ondřej Surý 58bd26b6cf Update the copyright information in all files in the repository
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.

Notes for BIND 9.17.17
----------------------
Security Fixes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Fixed an assertion failure that occurred in ``named`` when it
attempted to send a UDP packet that exceeded the MTU size, if
Response Rate Limiting (RRL) was enabled. (CVE-2021-25218) :gl:`#2856`
- ``named`` failed to check the opcode of responses when performing zone
refreshes, stub zone updates, and UPDATE forwarding. This could lead
to an assertion failure under certain conditions and has been
addressed by rejecting responses whose opcode does not match the
expected value. :gl:`#2762`
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) support can now be disabled at compile time using
a new build-time option, ``--disable-doh``. This allows BIND 9 to be
built without the libnghttp2 library. :gl:`#2478`
- It is now possible to set a hard quota on both the number of
concurrent DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) connections and the number of active
HTTP/2 streams per connection, by using the ``http-listener-clients``
and ``http-streams-per-connection`` options, or the
``listener-clients`` and ``streams-per-connection`` parameters in an
``http`` statement. The defaults are 300 and 100, respectively.
:gl:`#2809`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Previously, ``named`` accepted FORMERR responses both with and without
an OPT record, as an indication that a given server did not support
EDNS. To implement full compliance with :rfc:`6891`, only FORMERR
responses without an OPT record are now accepted. This intentionally
breaks communication with servers that do not support EDNS and that
incorrectly echo back the query message with the RCODE field set to
FORMERR and the QR bit set to 1. :gl:`#2249`
- Memory allocation has been substantially refactored; it is now based
on the memory allocation API provided by the jemalloc library, on
platforms where it is available. Use of this library is now
recommended when building BIND 9; although it is optional, it is
enabled by default. :gl:`#2433`
- Testing revealed that setting the thread affinity for various types of
``named`` threads led to inconsistent recursive performance, as
sometimes multiple sets of threads competed over a single resource.
Due to the above, ``named`` no longer sets thread affinity. This
causes a slight dip of around 5% in authoritative performance, but
recursive performance is now consistently improved. :gl:`#2822`
- CDS and CDNSKEY records can now be published in a zone without the
requirement that they exactly match an existing DNSKEY record, as long
as the zone is signed with an algorithm represented in the CDS or
CDNSKEY record. This allows a clean rollover from one DNS provider to
another when using a multiple-signer DNSSEC configuration. :gl:`#2710`
Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Authentication of ``rndc`` messages could fail if a ``controls``
statement was configured with multiple key algorithms for the same
listener. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2756`
