If the RRset in the answer or authority section triggers additional
processing, and the RRset has more than 13 different names, we skip
additional processing for that RRset.
So it can add more than 13 records to the additional section.
You are right that we also no longer do additional data processing for
ANY queries.

That is vague or misleading: is this saying don't add to additional
section if the ANSWER SECTION has more than 13 separated "names" (so not
limited by rrsets if have same names)? or is this the additional section
only and nothing to do with "answer"?
Looking at code changes, I don't think this is about ANSWER
(dns_rdataset_additionaldata) and is not about count of names either
(dns_rdataset_count).
Maybe instead:
"When answering queries, don't add data to the Additional Section if it
will have more than 13 records."
I didn't read closely nor test, but will it add up to 13 records in the
Additional Section?
For example @f.root-servers.net for COM returns additional section of 26
records (A and AAA glue), 13 names, and 13 rrsets. What happens with the
new behavior? How will chop out the glue?
Also I see code change for checking for ANY, if this is a change of
behavior, please consider also document if query is for ANY then no
additional section. (I also didn't test this.)
