Commit abc47f5ce4a50ab2d3b23505914e9c65f856262b added two new statistics
counters without documenting them. Add the missing counter descriptions
to the ARM.
(cherry picked from commit cb7924009152a4b8b1ec82a50bdb112541e9ec74)
This change allows fallback from an IXFR failure to AXFR when the reason is `DNS_R_TOOMANYRECORDS`. This is because this error condition could be temporary only in an intermediate version of IXFR transactions and it's possible that the latest version of the zone doesn't have that condition. In such a case, the secondary would never be able to update the zone (even if it could) without this fallback.
This fallback behavior is particularly useful with the recently introduced `max-records-per-type` and `max-types-per-name` options: the primary may not have these limitations and may temporarily introduce "too many" records, breaking IXFR. If the primary side subsequently deletes these records, this fallback will help recover the zone transfer failure automatically; without it, the secondary side would first need to increase the limit, which requires more operational overhead and has its own adverse effect.

The rcu_xchg_pointer() function can be used outside of a critical
section, and usually must be followed by a synchronize_rcu() or
call_rcu() call to detach from the resource, unless if there are
some guarantees in place because of our own reference counting.
`named-checkconf` now takes "-n" to ignore "not configured" errors. This allows named-checkconf to check the syntax of configurations from other builds which have support for more options.

Delay relinquishing root privileges until the control channel has been configured, for the benefit of systems that require root to use privileged port numbers. This mostly affects systems without fine-grained privilege systems (i.e., other than Linux).

On systems where root access is needed to configure privileged
ports, we don't want to fully relinquish root privileges until
after the control channel (which typically runs on port 953) has
been established.
named_os_changeuser() now takes a boolean argument 'permanent'.
This allows us to switch the effective userid temporarily with
named_os_changeuser(false) and restore it with named_os_restoreuser(),
before permanently dropping privileges with named_os_changeuser(true).
Administrators may wish to constrain the set of cores that BIND 9 runs on via the 'taskset', 'cpuset' or 'numactl' programs (or equivalent on other O/S).
If the admin has used taskset, the `named` will now follow to automatically use the given number of CPUs rather than the system wide count.

Administrators may wish to constrain the set of cores that BIND 9 runs
on via the 'taskset', 'cpuset' or 'numactl' programs (or equivalent on
other O/S), for example to achieve higher (or more stable) performance
by more closely associating threads with individual NIC rx queues. If
the admin has used taskset, it follows that BIND ought to
automatically use the given number of CPUs rather than the system wide
count.

Return partial match from dns_db_find/dns_db_find when requested
to short circuit the closest encloser discover process. Most of the
time this will be the actual closest encloser but may not be when
there yet to be committed / cleaned up versions of the zone with
names below the actual closest encloser.

The `malloc_usable_size()` can return size larger than originally allocated and when these sizes disagree the fortifier enabled by `_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3` detects overflow and stops the `named` execution abruptly. Stop using these convenience functions as they are primary used for introspection-only.

Closes#4880
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!9400
Although the nanual page of malloc_usable_size says:
Although the excess bytes can be over‐written by the application
without ill effects, this is not good programming practice: the
number of excess bytes in an allocation depends on the underlying
implementation.
it looks like the premise is broken with _FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 on newer
systems and it might return a value that causes program to stop with
"buffer overflow" detected from the _FORTIFY_SOURCE. As we do have own
implementation that tracks the allocation size that we can use to track
the allocation size, we can stop relying on this introspection function.
Also the newer manual page for malloc_usable_size changed the NOTES to:
The value returned by malloc_usable_size() may be greater than the
requested size of the allocation because of various internal
implementation details, none of which the programmer should rely on.
This function is intended to only be used for diagnostics and
statistics; writing to the excess memory without first calling
realloc(3) to resize the allocation is not supported. The returned
value is only valid at the time of the call.
Remove usage of both malloc_usable_size() and malloc_size() to be on the
safe size and only use the internal size tracking mechanism when
jemalloc is not available.

Merge branch 'issue-4886/order-preserving-documentation-tags' into 'main'
Closes#4886
See merge request isc-projects/bind9!9399
The 'set' datatype in Python does not provide iteration-order
guarantees related to insertion-order. That means that its
usage in the 'split_csv' helper function during documentation
build can produce nondeterministic results.
That is non-desirable for two reasons: it means that the
documentation output may appear to vary unnecessarily between
builds, and secondly there could be loss-of-information in cases
where tag order in the source documentation is significant.
This patch implements order-preserving de-duplication of tags,
allowing authors to specify tags using intentional priority
ordering, while also removing tags that appear more than once.
