There's a known memory leak in the engine_pkcs11 at the time of writing
this and it interferes with the named ability to check for memory leaks
in the OpenSSL memory context by default.

Add an autoconf option to explicitly enable the memory leak detection,
and use it in the CI except for pkcs11 enabled builds.  When this gets
fixed in the engine_pkc11, the option can be enabled by default.

The isc_timer_create() function was a bit conflated.  It could have been
used to create a timer and start it at the same time.  As there was a
single place where this was done before (see the previous commit for
nta.c), this was cleaned up and the isc_timer_create() function was
changed to only create new timer.

Windows is not a supported platform any more.

GitLab replaced RT, we don't support 1990s operating systems, we
like wrapped paragraphs, and we don't need that extra comma.

runall.sh was mainly used on Windows and as it's support was removed
from the "main" branch the script is not needed anymore.

Also, remove bin/tests/system/README text on running multiple system
test suites simultaneously with runall.sh as that support was not
present in the script anyway.

Fixup for MR!886.

Fixup to MR !985.

Fixup for build system rewrite 978c7b2e,

This commit converts the license handling to adhere to the REUSE
specification.  It specifically:

1. Adds used licnses to LICENSES/ directory

2. Add "isc" template for adding the copyright boilerplate

3. Changes all source files to include copyright and SPDX license
   header, this includes all the C sources, documentation, zone files,
   configuration files.  There are notes in the doc/dev/copyrights file
   on how to add correct headers to the new files.

4. Handle the rest that can't be modified via .reuse/dep5 file.  The
   binary (or otherwise unmodifiable) files could have license places
   next to them in <foo>.license file, but this would lead to cluttered
   repository and most of the files handled in the .reuse/dep5 file are
   system test files.

Removed socket.c, socket.h, and all references to isc_socket_t,
isc_socketmgr_t, isc_sockevent_t, etc.

There's no multiple result.{c,h} location to defining result codes,
update the documentation accordingly.

Information about memory allocation was outdated.

We should drop the HISTORY file because it's confusing and the same
information is covered by the release notes for .0 releases (or at
least they should be).

Remove references to the HISTORY file, update the README to tell
people go look somewhere else.

revise the Developer Information document with updated information
about copying names.

With the introduction of dnssec-policy, the aforementioned tools were
either rendered obsolete, or they will be replaced with dnssec-policy
based tools.  Remove the tools and the requirement to have Python
installed.  Python 3 is still being used for tests, so keep the autoconf
test, but make it much simpler.

The isc_mem API now crashes on memory allocation failure, and this is
the next commit in series to cleanup the code that could fail before,
but cannot fail now, e.g. isc_result_t return type has been changed to
void for the isc_log API functions that could only return ISC_R_SUCCESS.

Previously, the isc_mem_create() and isc_mem_createx() functions took `max_size`
and `target_size` as first two arguments.  Those values were never used in the
BIND 9 code.  The refactoring removes those arguments and let BIND 9 always use
the default values.

Previously, the isc_mem_create() and isc_mem_createx() functions could have
failed because of failed memory allocation.  As this was no longer true and the
functions have always returned ISC_R_SUCCESS, the have been refactored to return
void.

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.

- add info about rdatasets, etc, to dev.md (thanks to Tony Finch)
- convert rdata.html to markdown

4708.   [cleanup]       Legacy Windows builds (i.e. for XP and earlier)
                        are no longer supported. [RT #45186]

4707.	[func]		The lightweight resolver daemon and library (lwresd
			and liblwres) have been removed. [RT #45186]

4706.	[func]		Code implementing name server query processing has
			been moved from bin/named to a new library "libns".
			Functions remaining in bin/named are now prefixed
			with "named_" rather than "ns_".  This will make it
			easier to write unit tests for name server code, or
			link name server functionality into new tools.
			[RT #45186]

4593.	[doc]		Update README using markdown, remove outdated FAQ
			file in favor of the knowledge base.
