Unbound support for RFC8375: The special-use domain 'home.arpa' is
by default blocked. To unblock it use a local-zone nodefault
statement in unbound.conf:
local-zone: "home.arpa." nodefault
Or use another type of local-zone to override with your choice.
The reason for this is discussed in Section 6.1 of RFC8375:
Because 'home.arpa.' is not globally scoped and cannot be secured
using DNSSEC based on the root domain's trust anchor, there is no way
to tell, using a standard DNS query, in which homenet scope an answer
belongs. Consequently, users may experience surprising results with
such names when roaming to different homenets.

The macros provided for the manipulation of CPU sets (e.g. CPU_AND)
have been modified to take 2 source arguments instead of only 1.
