Oh, wait, this might blow up if there is a disabled DNS zone which is deeper
than the one returned from DNS query.

Damn, we have opened a Pandora box!

ipaserver/install/bindinstance.py has own implementation of get_reverse_zone()
+ additional menthods find_reverse_zone().
These are using get_reverse_zone_default() from ipalib/util.py which is
duplicating code in 'if prefixlen is not None' branch.

And of course, are not correct in light of this change.

My expectation would be that disabled zones should be ignored... So we should
get rid of this mess in the loop and use dnszone_show() which is called at the
end. And fix the other places, preferably by deleting duplicate implementations.

I would expect that you can store (converted) output of
dns.resolver.zone_for_name(revdns) into revzone and delete whole 'if prefixlen
is None' branch.

Hmm, and this logic will breaks CNAME/DNAME (RFC2317) handling ... Damn, we
need different handling when we intend to create the zone and when we want to
manipulate a record in a reverse zone. Grrr.

When we want to manipulate a record in existing zone, the whole branch does
not make sense and the result of DNS query is what we want and need.

On the other hand, we need this when creating *a new zone* from IP address ...

Mastin^2, what about zone names with missing period at the end? Is it handled
by dnszone_show() internally?

We have to discuss all this...
