This release contains a number of security related fixes, contributed by
X41 D-Sec.  They have conducted a security audit of Unbound, funded by
OSTIF.  The previous CVEs fixed in 1.9.4 and 1.9.5 were the most
important ones, less important fixes and side findings for more robust
code have been included in this release, alongside a normal number of
bug fixes.

The sort order for included config snippets is not ascending by name, it
previously was reversed due to an oversight.  Most config snippets do
not depend on the order as they add a stub or forward zone or some
server: section config entries.


Features:
- The unbound.conf includes are sorted ascending, for include
  statements with a '*' from glob.
- drop-tld.diff in contrib/ : adds option drop-tld: yesno that drops 2 label
  queries, to stop random floods.  Apply with
  patch -p1 < contrib/drop-tld.diff and compile.
  From Saksham Manchanda (Secure64).  Please note that we think this
  will drop DNSKEY and DS lookups for tlds and hence break DNSSEC
  lookups for downstream clients.
- Add new configure option `--enable-fully-static` to enable full static
  build if requested; in relation to #91.
- Add make distclean that removes everything configure produced,
  and make maintainer-clean that removes bison and flex output.
- unbound-fuzzers.tar.bz2 in contrib/ : three programs for fuzzing, that
are 1:1
  replacements for unbound-fuzzme.c that gets created after applying
  the contrib/unbound-fuzzme.patch.  They are contributed by
  Eric Sesterhenn from X41 D-Sec.

Bug Fixes:
- Fix that pkg-config is setup before --enable-systemd needs it.
- Fix contrib/fastrpz.patch asprintf return value checks.
- ipset module #28: log that an address is added, when verbosity high.
- ipset: refactor long routine into three smaller ones.
- updated Makefile dependencies.
- squelch DNS over TLS errors 'ssl handshake failed crypto error'
  on low verbosity, they show on verbosity 3 (query details), because
  there is a high volume and the operator cannot do anything for the
  remote failure.  Specifically filters the high volume errors.
- Fix #71: fix openssl error squelch commit compilation error.
- Fix #72: configure --with-syslog-facility=LOCAL0-7 with default
  LOG_DAEMON (as before) can set the syslog facility that the server
  uses to log messages.
- Use explicit bzero for wiping clear buffer of hash in cachedb,
  reported by Eric Sesterhenn from X41 D-Sec.

  systemd unbound.service.
- oss-fuzz badge on README.md.

- Fix wrong response ttl for prepended short CNAME ttls, this would

- Merge #80 from stasic: Improve wording in man page.
- Merge #82 from hardfalcon: Downgrade CAP_NET_ADMIN to CAP_NET_RAW
  in unbound.service.
- Merge #81 from Maryse47: Consistently use /dev/urandom instead
  of /dev/random in scripts and docs.
- Merge #83 from Maryse47: contrib/unbound.service.in: do not fork
  into the background.
- Merge #85 for #84 from sam-lunt: Add kill capability to systemd
  service file to fix that systemctl reload fails.
- Merge #87 from hardfalcon: Fix contrib/unbound.service.in,
  Drop CAP_KILL, use + prefix for ExecReload= instead.
