adamandClaude Opus 5.5 bad360107e docs: every rate-limit setting, with defaults and when to change them
A Settings section in docs/exposure.md: the counting model, a table of all
15 rate-limit settings from the BIND 9.20 ARM, and what was checked
against real named (TCP never limited, NXDOMAIN falls back to
responses-per-second and is counted per zone across names, all-per-second
only drops, slipped answers are TC or BADCOOKIE depending on DNS cookies).

adamandClaude Opus 5.5 bdd7acfd3b Internet exposure checks and response rate limiting
Jarl works out which views are reachable from the internet (match-clients
ending in a catch-all, not private-looking addresses: an internal view of a
global IPv6 prefix is still yours; a server without views: open allow-query
and a non-private listen address), with a per-view override (schema 9), and
checks public ones: rate limiting, open resolver, minimal-any, cache
snooping, open NOTIFY and transfers, version and host name, management
interfaces. Fixes are staged like any change, including rate limiting from
ISC's example in log-only mode with the secondaries exempt, then enforcing.
named logs what rate limiting limits (or would, in log-only mode, where its
counters don't move) as query-errors; Jarl routes those lines to its log
and counts them (rrl breakdown, ratelimited top lists, Prometheus
jarl_ratelimit_logged_total), shown on the new Exposure page.

A change that newly opens a public view up must be confirmed (accept_risk,
--accept-risk, a checkbox on the Changes page; 409 confirm_risk
otherwise). Findings can be acknowledged with a reason and stay visible as
info. GET /exposure, POST /exposure/fix|ack|unack, jarl exposure,
docs/exposure.md.

Also fixes query statistics skipping TSIG-signed queries ("IP#port/key
NAME" in named's log).
