Fix CVE-2026-10723: validate NSEC3 signer matches owning zone

Backport upstream fix for CVE-2026-10723 to bind 9.11.36.
The patch adds NSEC3 signer verification in lib/dns/dnssec.c,
rejecting signatures whose signer field does not match the zone
owning the NSEC3 record. This prevents a child zone from
impersonating its parent to forge NXDOMAIN responses for
sibling domains. The error message for DNS_R_INVALIDNSEC3 in
lib/dns/result.c is also updated accordingly.

Subject: [PATCH] Check NSEC3 signer matches the owning zone
When validating NSEC3 records, reject any signature whose signer field
does not match the zone owning the NSEC3.
This ensures that a child zone cannot impersonate its parent and forge
NXDOMAIN responses for sibling domains.
