The $SYSTEMTESTTOP shell variable if often set to .. in various shell
scripts inside bin/tests/system/, but most of the time it is only
used one line later, while sourcing conf.sh. This hardly improves
code readability.
$SYSTEMTESTTOP is also used for the purpose of referencing
scripts/files living in bin/tests/system/, but given that the
variable is always set to a short, relative path, we can drop it and
replace all of its occurrences with the relative path without adversely
affecting code readability.
This test ensures that named will correctly shutdown
when receiving multiple control connections after processing
of either "rncd stop" or "kill -SIGTERM" commands.
Before the fix, named was crashing due to a race condition happening
between two threads, one running shutdown logic in named/server.c
and other handling control logic in controlconf.c.
This test tries to reproduce the above scenario by issuing multiple
queries to a target named instance, issuing either rndc stop or kill
-SIGTERM command to the same named instance, then starting multiple rndc
status connections to ensure it is not crashing anymore.
