Jarl is now an ACME client (lego's core, no DNS providers). It answers
DNS-01 challenges in a zone it serves, or through Porkbun's DNS API while
Porkbun serves the domain; "auto" decides from the domain's public name
servers at every renewal, and a CNAME on _acme-challenge is followed.
Certificates are used for jarld's HTTPS (served without a restart; each
port speaks HTTPS and plain HTTP, plain HTTP from loopback and trusted
proxies still served) and/or written for named's DNS over TLS/HTTPS, with
rndc reconfig on renewal. Renewal follows the CA's ARI window or two
thirds of the lifetime, with back-off. Certificates you renew yourself
can be used too. Certificates page and dashboard card, jarl cert,
/api/v1/certificates, Prometheus gauges, docs/certificates.md, and an
e2e section against Pebble.

The DNSSEC tab and 'jarl zone dnssec status' give the jarl record add
command (and an Add to parent button) when the parent zone is in Jarl.
jarl.service grants CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE so the web UI can listen on 443.

Zones get a DNSSEC setting: named signs them with BIND's default (or a
custom) dnssec-policy and inline signing, with keys in a per-view key
directory. Jarl shows the keys, the DS record and when it is safe to
publish it, checks the parent's DS records (check-ds, which also tells
named), and refuses steps that would break a signed domain: switching
straight to unsigned, finishing a turn-off too early, deleting or moving
a signed zone, TTLs above max-zone-ttl. Turning off goes through the
insecure policy; wipe starts over once the parent has no DS.
Backups store the DNSSEC keys and restore puts them back for named; the
backup unit gets CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH to read them. Jarl raises a zone's
serial above named's whenever it writes an older one (after a restore).
The serials check compares the signed serial.
With a Porkbun API key in jarl.yaml, the registrar's name servers, glue
records and DS records can be shown and changed, each change checked
first (dry run, force to override).
