Update bind99 to 9.9.8.

Security Fixes

    * An incorrect boundary check in the OPENPGPKEY rdatatype could
      trigger an assertion failure. This flaw is disclosed in
      CVE-2015-5986. [RT #40286]
    * A buffer accounting error could trigger an assertion failure when
      parsing certain malformed DNSSEC keys.
      This flaw was discovered by Hanno B旦ck of the Fuzzing Project, and
      is disclosed in CVE-2015-5722. [RT #40212]
    * A specially crafted query could trigger an assertion failure in
      message.c.
      This flaw was discovered by Jonathan Foote, and is disclosed in
      CVE-2015-5477. [RT #40046]
    * On servers configured to perform DNSSEC validation, an assertion
      failure could be triggered on answers from a specially configured
      server.
      This flaw was discovered by Breno Silveira Soares, and is disclosed
      in CVE-2015-4620. [RT #39795]

New Features

    * New quotas have been added to limit the queries that are sent by
      recursive resolvers to authoritative servers experiencing
      denial-of-service attacks. When configured, these options can both
      reduce the harm done to authoritative servers and also avoid the
      resource exhaustion that can be experienced by recursives when they
      are being used as a vehicle for such an attack.
      NOTE: These options are not available by default; use configure
      --enable-fetchlimit to include them in the build.
          + fetches-per-server limits the number of simultaneous queries
            that can be sent to any single authoritative server. The
            configured value is a starting point; it is automatically
            adjusted downward if the server is partially or completely
            non-responsive. The algorithm used to adjust the quota can be
            configured via the fetch-quota-params option.
          + fetches-per-zone limits the number of simultaneous queries
            that can be sent for names within a single domain. (Note:
            Unlike "fetches-per-server", this value is not self-tuning.)
      Statistics counters have also been added to track the number of
      queries affected by these quotas.
    * An --enable-querytrace configure switch is now available to enable
      very verbose query tracelogging. This option can only be set at
      compile time. This option has a negative performance impact and
      should be used only for debugging.
    * EDNS COOKIE options content is now displayed as "COOKIE:
      <hexvalue>".

Feature Changes

    * Large inline-signing changes should be less disruptive. Signature
      generation is now done incrementally; the number of signatures to
      be generated in each quantum is controlled by
      "sig-signing-signatures number;". [RT #37927]
    * Retrieving the local port range from net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range
      on Linux is now supported.
    * Active Directory names of the form gc._msdcs.<forest> are now
      accepted as valid hostnames when using the check-names option.
      <forest> is still restricted to letters, digits and hyphens.
    * Names containing rich text are now accepted as valid hostnames in
      PTR records in DNS-SD reverse lookup zones, as specified in RFC
      6763. [RT #37889]

Bug Fixes

    * Asynchronous zone loads were not handled correctly when the zone
      load was already in progress; this could trigger a crash in zt.c.
      [RT #37573]
    * A race during shutdown or reconfiguration could cause an assertion
      failure in mem.c. [RT #38979]
    * Some answer formatting options didn't work correctly with dig
      +short. [RT #39291]
    * Malformed records of some types, including NSAP and UNSPEC, could
      trigger assertion failures when loading text zone files. [RT
      #40274] [RT #40285]
    * Fixed a possible crash in ratelimiter.c caused by NOTIFY messages
      being removed from the wrong rate limiter queue. [RT #40350]
    * The default rrset-order of random was inconsistently applied. [RT
      #40456]
    * BADVERS responses from broken authoritative name servers were not
      handled correctly. [RT #40427]
