unbound: Fix of 3 CVEs

Type: advisorySources: OSV

- CVE-2026-33278: dangling pointer dereference in dns_msg_deepcopy_region() during DS sub-query suspend/resume; the previously-backported CVE-2023-50387-CVE-2023-50868.patch dragged the vulnerable '*res->rep = *origin->rep;' struct-assignment into our 1.16.2 tree. Save the destination rrsets pointer, sized-memcpy with rrset_ref excluded, restore the pointer. Adds defense-in-depth param_set_same() NSEC3 parameter consistency check called from all five nsec3_prove_* entry points.
