Reverse zones made easy: suggested, filled, in the right view, PTRs kept in step

Missing reverse zones are suggested for the private views' A and AAAA records (/24 for private IPv4, /32 for a public address, /48 for IPv6) and created filled with PTR records (jarl zone suggest-reverse, the Zones page). zone create --fill and zone fill-ptr add the PTRs a reverse zone lacks; a reverse zone created without a view goes to the private view using its addresses. Per zone, auto_ptr keeps the PTR records of A and AAAA records in step on every change (database version 12). Zone commands take a network.

Jarl suggests the reverse zones your private views lack, creates them in
the right view filled with PTR records, and can keep PTR records in step
with a zone's A and AAAA records: [reverse.md](reverse.md).
### Dynamic updates and TSIG keys
Jarl writes every zone file, so it can't let named change a zone through
