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 9.17.20
----------------------
New Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~
- New finer-grained ``update-policy`` rule types,
``krb5-subdomain-self-rhs`` and ``ms-subdomain-self-rhs``, were added.
These rule types restrict updates to SRV and PTR records so that their
content can only match the machine name embedded in the Kerberos
principal making the change. :gl:`#481`
- Support for OpenSSL 3.0.0 APIs was added. :gl:`#2843`
Removed Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- OpenSSL 3.0.0 deprecated support for so-called "engines." Since BIND 9
currently uses engine_pkcs11 for PKCS#11, compiling BIND 9 against an
OpenSSL 3.0.0 build which does not retain support for deprecated APIs
makes it impossible to use PKCS#11 in BIND 9. A replacement for
engine_pkcs11 which employs the new "provider" approach introduced in
OpenSSL 3.0.0 is in the making. :gl:`#2843`
- Since the old socket manager API has been removed, "socketmgr"
statistics are no longer reported by the :ref:`statistics channel
<statschannels>`. :gl:`#2926`
Feature Changes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- The default for ``dnssec-dnskey-kskonly`` was changed to ``yes``. This
means that DNSKEY, CDNSKEY, and CDS RRsets are now only signed with
the KSK by default. The additional signatures prepared using the ZSK
when the option is set to ``no`` add to the DNS response payload
without offering added value. :gl:`#1316`
- The default NSEC3 parameters for ``dnssec-policy`` were updated to no
extra SHA-1 iterations and no salt (``NSEC3PARAM 1 0 0 -``).
:gl:`#2956`
- Internal data structures maintained for each cache database are now
grown incrementally when they need to be expanded. This helps maintain
a steady response rate on a loaded resolver while these internal data
structures are resized. :gl:`#2941`
- The output of ``rndc serve-stale status`` has been clarified. It now
explicitly reports whether retention of stale data in the cache is
enabled (``stale-cache-enable``), and whether returning such data in
responses is enabled (``stale-answer-enable``). :gl:`#2742`
- The `UseSTD3ASCIIRules`_ flag is now set for libidn2 function calls.
This enables additional validation rules for IDN domains and hostnames
in ``dig``. :gl:`#1610`

Bug Fixes
~~~~~~~~~
- Reloading a catalog zone which referenced a missing/deleted member
zone triggered a runtime check failure, causing ``named`` to exit
prematurely. This has been fixed. :gl:`#2308`
- Some lame delegations could trigger a dependency loop, in which a
resolver fetch waited for a name server address lookup which was
waiting for the same resolver fetch. This could cause a recursive
lookup to hang until timing out. This situation is now detected and
prevented. :gl:`#2927`
- Log files using ``timestamp``-style suffixes were not always correctly
removed when the number of files exceeded the limit set by
``versions``. This has been fixed. :gl:`#828`
