Replace dns_fixedname_init() calls followed by dns_fixedname_name()
calls with calls to dns_fixedname_initname() where it is possible
without affecting current behavior and/or performance.
This patch was mostly prepared using Coccinelle and the following
semantic patch:
@@
expression fixedname, name;
@@
- dns_fixedname_init(&fixedname);
...
- name = dns_fixedname_name(&fixedname);
+ name = dns_fixedname_initname(&fixedname);
The resulting set of changes was then manually reviewed to exclude false
positives and apply minor tweaks.
It is likely that more occurrences of this pattern can be refactored in
an identical way. This commit only takes care of the low-hanging fruit.
allows named to provide stale cached answers when
the authoritative server is under attack.

4235. [func] Added support in named for "dnstap", a fast method of
capturing and logging DNS traffic, and a new command
"dnstap-read" to read a dnstap log file. Use
"configure --enable-dnstap" to enable this
feature (note that this requires libprotobuf-c
and libfstrm). See the ARM for configuration details.
Thanks to Robert Edmonds of Farsight Security.

3829. [func] "dig +ttlunits" causes dig to print TTL values
with time-unit suffixes: w, d, h, m, s for
weeks, days, hours, minutes, and seconds. (Thanks
to Tony Finch.) [RT #35823]
3741. [func] "delve" (domain entity lookup and validation engine):
A new tool with dig-like semantics for performing DNS
lookups, with internal DNSSEC validation, using the
same resolver and validator logic as named. This
allows easy validation of DNSSEC data in environments
with untrustworthy resolvers, and assists with
troubleshooting of DNSSEC problems. (Note: not yet
available on win32.) [RT #32406]
analysis after load failures. [RT #27087]
3248. [bug] Configure options --enable-fixed-rrset and
--enable-exportlib were incompatible with each
other. [RT #27087]
3247. [bug] 'raw' format zones failed to preserve load order
breaking 'fixed' sort order. [RT #27087]
3246. [bug] Named failed to start with a empty also-notify list.
[RT #27087]
include the serial number of the zone from which
they were generated, if different (as in the case
of inline-signing zones). This is to be used in
inline-signing zones, to track changes between the
unsigned and signed versions of the zone, which may
have different serial numbers.
(Note: raw zonefiles generated by this version of
BIND are no longer compatble with prior versions.
To generate a backward-compatible raw zonefile
using dnssec-signzone or named-compilezone, specify
output format "raw=0" instead of simply "raw".)

negative-cache records rather than using rrtype 0;
this will prevent problems when that rrtype is
used in actual DNS packets. [RT #24777]
3123. [security] Change #2912 exposed a latent flaw in
dns_rdataset_totext() that could cause named to
crash with an assertion failure. [RT #24777]
