This release contains a number of bug fixes. There is a crash fix for
broken internal structures in stream reuse, that is used when many TCP
or TLS upstream connections are made. Also a number of features are added.

The ZONEMD support allows verification of downloaded authority zone
files with the zonemd hash. It can be enabled with the zonemd-check
option. It implements RFC8976. With zonemd-permissive-mode it is
possible to try out the functionality without withholding the zone if
the checks fail. With zonemd-reject-absence the zonemd record becomes a
requirement for a zone.

It is possible to use interface names for the control-interface as well,
it was already possible for the interface, but now also for the remote
control functionality. It allows the user to config the interface with
the interface name, like 'eth0', instead of an IP address.

It is possible to configure the persistent TCP connection, with the
options max-reuse-tcp-queries and tcp-reuse-timeout. These also apply to
TLS reused connections.

The local zone types always_null, always_nodata and always_deny work
inside the local zones that are defined inside a view.

The log servfail error message now includes more information, it
attempts to add an IP address and information about the one of the last
failures that is associated with that query.

With the option tcp-auth-query-timeout, the time to wait for queries
to upstream authority servers can be configured, for TCP and TLS queries.

It is possible to configure unbound with --with-deprecate-rsa-1024, that
stops the use of RSA 1024 keys. That makes unbound work with certain
FIPS installations that do not allow such calls to the crypto API. If
the option is enabled, Unbound treats RSA keys with an insufficiently
sized key as not supported. Responses with unsupported crypto are marked
insecure.

The NSEC3 maximum iterations are lowered to 150. This is the new default
setting. This puts this in line with other DNS implementations. If the
iterations count is exceeded the response becomes insecure.

The number of validator retries when there is a DNSSEC failure can be
configured with the val-max-restart option.

The RR types SVCB and HTTPS are supported according to the draft
specification. The syntax can be used in local zones and zone files,
and debug output. The types themselves were already supported on the
wire the RFC3597 unknown RR type support.

The HTTP user agent header can be configured or elided, to
avoid printing the version of type of the software running on the
server, with the options http-user-agent and hide-http-user-agent.

Features
- Merge PR #317: ZONEMD Zone Verification, with RFC 8976 support.
  ZONEMD records are checked for zones loaded as auth-zone,
  with DNSSEC if available.  There is an added option
  zonemd-permissive-mode that makes it log but not fail wrong zones.
  With zonemd-reject-absence for an auth-zone the presence of a
  zonemd can be mandated for specific zones.
- Fix: Resolve interface names on control-interface too.
- Merge #470 from edevil: Allow configuration of persistent TCP
  connections.
- Fix #474: always_null and others inside view.
- Add that log-servfail prints an IP address and more information
  about one of the last failures for that query.
- Merge #478: Allow configuration of TCP timeout while waiting for
  response.
- Add ./configure --with-deprecate-rsa-1024 that turns off RSA 1024.
- Move the NSEC3 max iterations count in line with the 150 value
  used by BIND, Knot and PowerDNS. This sets the default value
  for it in the configuration to 150 for all key sizes.
- zonemd-check: yesno option, default no, enables the processing
  of ZONEMD records for that zone.
- Merge #486 by fobster: Make VAL_MAX_RESTART_COUNT configurable.
- Merge PR #491: Add SVCB and HTTPS types and handling according to
  draft-ietf-dnsop-svcb-https.
- Introduce 'http-user-agent:' and 'hide-http-user-agent:' options.

  PyEval_CallObject (now PyObject_Call), PyEval_InitThreads (now
