replace the build system with meson
Meson is a modern build system that has seen a rise in adoption and some
version of it is available in almost every platform supported.

Compared to automake, meson has the following advantages:

* Meson provides a significant boost to the build and configuration time
  by better exploiting parallelism.

* Meson is subjectively considered to be better in readability.

These merits alone justify experimenting with meson as a way of
improving development time and ergonomics. However, there are some
compromises to ensure the transition goes relatively smooth:

* The system tests currently rely on various files within the source
  directory. Changing this requirement is a non-trivial task that can't
  be currently justified. Currently the last compiled build directory
  writes into the source tree which is in turn used by pytest.

* The minimum version supported has been fixed at 0.61. Increasing this
  value will require choosing a baseline of distributions that can
  package with meson. On the contrary, there will likely be an attempt
  to decrease this value to ensure almost universal support for building
  BIND 9 with meson.

The rsabigexponent test is used to check max-rsa-exponent-size.

We only run this test on builds without PKCS#11, as we have control over the RSA exponent size with plain OpenSSL. We have not explored how to do this with PKCS#11, which would require generating such a key and then signing a zone with it. Additionally, even with control of the exponent size with PKCS#11, generating a DNSKEY with this property and signing such a zone would be slow and undesirable for each test run; instead, we use a pregenerated DNSKEY and a saved signed zone. These are located in rsabigexponent/ns2 and currently use RSASHA1 for the DNSKEY algorithm; however, that may need to be changed in the future.

To generate the DNSKEY used in this test, we used bigkey.c, as dnssec-keygen is not capable of generating such keys.

Do not remove bigkey.c as it may be needed to generate a new DNSKEY for testing purposes.

bigkey is used to both test that we are not running under PKCS#11 and generate a DNSKEY key with a large RSA exponent.

To regenerate ns2/example.db.bad comment out the range test in opensslrsa_parse before signing the zone with a ZSK key generated by bigkey.
