/*
 * this function assumes names are well formed DNS names.
 * it doesn't validate them
 *
 * It allows strings up to a length of UINT16_MAX - 1
 * with up to UINT8_MAX components. On overflow this
 * just returns the result of strcasecmp_m().
 *
 * Trailing dots (only one) are ignored.
 *
 * The DNS names are compared per component, starting from
 * the last one.
 *
 * The function is usable in a sort, but the return value contains more
 * information than a simple comparison. There are 5 return values, defined
 * above.
 *
 * DNS_CMP_FIRST_IS_CHILD (-2) means the first argument is a sub-domain of the
 * second. e.g. dns_cmp("foo.example.org", "example.org")
 *
 * DNS_CMP_FIRST_IS_LESS (-1) means the first argument sorts before the
 * second, but is not a sub-domain. e.g. dns_cmp("eggsample.org", "example.org").
 *
 * DNS_CMP_SECOND_IS_CHILD (+2) and DNS_CMP_SECOND_IS_LESS (+1) have the
 * similar expected meanings. DNS_CMP_MATCH (0) means equality.
 *
 * NULL values are the parent of all addresses, which means comparisons
 * between a string and NULL will return +2 or -2.
