    dnssec: do not publish CDS records when -Psync is in the future · 4227b796

    This is a bug I encountered when trying to schedule an algorithm
    rollover. My plan, for a zone whose maximum TTL is 48h, was to sign
    with the new algorithm and schedule a change of CDS records for more
    than 48 hours in the future, roughly like this:
    
        $ dnssec-keygen -a 13 -fk -Psync now+50h $zone
        $ dnssec-keygen -a 13 $zone
        $ dnssec-settime -Dsync now+50h $zone_ksk_old
    
    However the algorithm 13 CDS was published immediately, which could
    have made the zone bogus.
    
    To reveal the bug using the `smartsign` test, this change just adds a
    KSK with all its times in the future, so it should not affect the
    existing checks at all. But the final check (that there are no CDS or
    CDSNSKEY records after -Dsync) fails with the old `syncpublish()`
    logic, because the future key's sync records appear early. With the
    new `syncpublish()` logic the future key does not affect the test, as
    expected, and it now passes.
