697e2b4bda Fix truncation of messages longer than permitted by the client (#1417)
* Fix truncation of messages longer than permitted by the client

CoreDNS currently doesn't respect the maximum response size advertised
by the client and returns the full answer on a message with the TC bit
set. This breaks client implementations which rely on DNS servers
respecting the advertised size limit, for example the Ruby stdlib
client. It also has negative network performance implications, as large
messages will be split up into multiple UDP packets, even though the
client will discard the truncated response anyway.

While RFC 2181 permits the response of partial RRSets, finding the
correct number of records fitting into the advertised response size is
non-trivial. As clients should ignore truncated messages, this change
simply removes the full RRSet on truncated messages.

* Remove incorrect etcd test assertion

If a client requests a TXT record larger than its advertised buffer
size, a DNS server should _not_ respond with the answer, but truncate
the message and set the TC bit, so that the client can retry using TCP.

d8714e64e4 Remove the word middleware (#1067)
* Rename middleware to plugin

first pass; mostly used 'sed', few spots where I manually changed
text.

This still builds a coredns binary.

* fmt error

* Rename AddMiddleware to AddPlugin

* Readd AddMiddleware to remain backwards compat

5eccfa2d1e core: harden request.Request (#1009)
Check for a nil message and if we have a question section. Request is
usually called with an external Msg that already saw validation checks,
but we may also call it from message we create of our own, that may or
may not adhire to this. Just be more robust in this case.

This PR reverts a previous commit that was applied to master.

d1f17fa7e0 Cleanup: put middleware helper functions in pkgs (#245)
Move all (almost all) Go files in middleware into their
own packages. This makes for better naming and discoverability.

Lot of changes elsewhere to make this change.

The middleware.State was renamed to request.Request which is better,
but still does not cover all use-cases. It was also moved out middleware
because it is used by `dnsserver` as well.

A pkg/dnsutil packages was added for shared, handy, dns util functions.

All normalize functions are now put in normalize.go
