Without this it is possible to prepare a replica for a host that doesn't
exist in DNS. The result when this replica file is installed is that
replication will fail because the master won't be able to communicate
to the replica by name.

The changes include:
* Change license blobs in source files to mention GPLv3+ not GPLv2 only
* Add GPLv3+ license text
* Package COPYING not LICENSE as the license blobs (even the old ones)
mention COPYING specifically, it is also more common, I think

A host in DNS must have an IP address so a valid IP address is required
when adding a host. The --force flag will be needed too since you are
adding a host that isn't in DNS.
For IPv4 it will create an A and a PTR DNS record.
IPv6 isn't quite supported yet. Some basic work in the DNS installer
is needed to get this working. Once the get_reverse_zone() returns the
right value then this should start working and create an AAAA record and
the appropriate reverse entry.
When deleting a host with the --updatedns flag it will try to remove all
records it can find in the zone for this host.

It would be nicer if we disabled the command altogether but this would require
checking the server to see every time the ipa command is executed (which would
be bad). We can't store this in a configuration file because it is possible
to add a DNS post-install (and it would require adding this to every single
client install).

This is a little bit of a copy and paste approach, as the code for__json__
was copied from baseldap. Long term, we want to rewrite this plugin as
an extension of baseldap anyway.
Note that this doesn't rely on IPA having a configured DNS server.
It passes the host name to the resolver and doesn't try to do a lookup
within the IPA DNS directly (e.g. no internal LDAP search).
Tries to determine if a domain is included and if not then the IPA
domain is added. This won't do the right thing if there are multiple
configured subdomains.

The DNS plugin is getting old, tired and already looking forward to his
pension in the Carribean. It will be replaced soon by a younger, faster,
safer, shorter (in terms of code) and more maintainable version.
Until that happens, here's some medicine for the old guy:
- proper output definitions: the DNS plugin was created before we
had the has_output attribute in place
- --all: this is related to the output definitions as
Command.get_options() adds the --all and --raw options automatically
if has_output contains entries
- dns-add-rr overwritting: missing .lower() caused records to be
overwritten everytime a new one was added from the CLI
The idnsUpdatePolicy takes a list of BIND dynamic update policies, each
of which must be terminated by ";". Also fix a minor error in the
documentation string.
