With this the neg and key caches can be shared between multiple
libunbound contexts.

The msg and rrset caches already allowed this since context_finalize()
did not touch those if they are already available and have the correct
size.

Care must be taken to properly unhook the caches from the validator
environment before calling ub_ctx_delete() otherwise one risks double
free or use after free bugs.

Looks harmless for normal code and libunbound. Not too easy to use for libunbound users, you have to create and delete and then set to NULL (as you describe) the entry, and also NULL the entry in the val_env before deleting to avoid double-free.

So I'm fine with it, if it helps unwind. Probably not something I could easily describe for how libunbound users could make use of it.

Thank you for the contribution!

Best regards, Wouter
