Development version of BIND 9 - 9.21.10 with meson build system

[Ondřej Surý]

Hi,

as previously announced, the BIND 9.21 (development branch) has changed the build
system from venerable autotools to meson build system. If you build BIND 9 from sources
now would be a good time to try building the development version from sources and report
any issues you find to our GitLab issue tracker or raise any questions here.

Packagers might want to pull patch 0002 and 0003 from here:
https://salsa.debian.org/dns-team/bind9/-/tree/debian/9.21/debian/patches?ref_type=heads

The patch 0002 removes the RUNPATH/RPATH from the binaries and the 0003 patch restores
the previous naming of the libraries where upstream version is part of the library name.
There might be more tweaks coming related to SONAME and SOVERSION.

Cheers,
