From what I can see the only platform this drops support for is CentOS
7. CentOS 7 reached the end of it's "full update" support at the end of
2020. It does receive maintenance updates until 2024, however I don't
think supporting glibc 2.17 until 2024 is realistic. Note that anyone
wanting to self-compile and target a glibc 2.17 runtime could build with
--disable-threadlocal.
glibc 2.18 was released in August 2013.
https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00160.html
It is important that binaries request a standard interpreter location
where most distros would place the linker-loader. Otherwise, the user
would be met with a very confusing message:
bash: <path>/<to>/bitcoind: No such file or directory
When really it's the interpreter that's not found.
These test-*-check scripts should compile "test" binaries in a way that
is as close to what autotools would do, since the goal is to make sure
that if we run the *-check script, they can correctly detect flaws in
binaries which are compiled by our autotools-based system.
Therefore, we should emulate what happens when the binary is linked in
autotools, meaning that for C binaries, we need to supply the CFLAGS,
CPPFLAGS, and LDFLAGS flags in that order.
Note to future developers: perhaps it'd be nice to have these
test-*-check scripts be part of configure.ac to avoid having to manually
replicate autoconf-like behaviour every time we find a discrepancy. Of
course, that would also mean you'd have to write more m4...
Now that our release binaries are build in a glibc 2.24 and 2.27
environment, we can't use a symbol from glibc 2.28 to test our checks.
Replace renameat2() with nextup(), which was introduced in 2.24.
Note that this also means re-disabling the test for RISC-V, however
RISC-V is built in a glibc 2.27 environment, and our minimum required
glibc for that binary is 2.27.
This is important to make sure that we're not testing tools different
from the one we're building with.
Introduce determine_wellknown_cmd, which encapsulates how we
should handle well-known tools specification (IFS splitting, env
override, etc.).

The (ancient) versions specified here were deceptive. Entries older than
MAX_VERSIONS['GLIBC'], which is 2.17, are ignored here. So reorganize
the code to avoid confusion for other people reading this code.

Clangs Darwin driver should infer the SDK version used during compilation, and
forward that through to the linker. Add a check that this has been done, and the
expected SDK version is set.
Should help prevent issues like #21771 in future.
We use linker flags (-Wl,--major/minor-subsystem-version) to set the
minimum required version of Windows needed to run our binaries. This
adds a sanity check that the version is being set as expected.
We use a compile flag (-mmacosx-version-min) to set the minimum required
version of macOS needed to run our binaries. This adds a sanity check
that the version is being set as expected.
Because only macOS wasy mentioned, I was unsure if this would be a macOS specific tool. I guess Linux is more used than Mac, so Linux guide should be there, too.

634f6ec4eb contrib: Parse ELF directly for symbol and security checks (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Instead of the ever-messier text parsing of the output of the readelf tool (which is clearly meant for human consumption not to be machine parseable), parse the ELF binaries directly.
Add a small dependency-less ELF parser specific to the checks.
This is slightly more secure, too, because it removes potential ambiguity due to misparsing and changes in the output format of `elfread`. It also allows for stricter and more specific ELF format checks in the future.
This removes the build-time dependency for `readelf`.
It passes the test-security-check for me locally, ~~though I haven't checked on all platforms~~. I've checked that this works on the cross-compile output for all ELF platforms supported by Bitcoin Core at the moment, as well as PPC64 LE and BE.

Pull request description:
Replace current benchmarking framework with nanobench
This replaces the current benchmarking framework with nanobench [1], an
MIT licensed single-header benchmarking library, of which I am the
autor. This has in my opinion several advantages, especially on Linux:
* fast: Running all benchmarks takes ~6 seconds instead of 4m13s on
an Intel i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz.
* accurate: I ran e.g. the benchmark for SipHash_32b 10 times and
calculate standard deviation / mean = coefficient of variation:
* 0.57% CV for old benchmarking framework
* 0.20% CV for nanobench
So the benchmark results with nanobench seem to vary less than with
the old framework.
* It automatically determines runtime based on clock precision, no need
to specify number of evaluations.
* measure instructions, cycles, branches, instructions per cycle,
branch misses (only Linux, when performance counters are available)
* output in markdown table format.
* Warn about unstable environment (frequency scaling, turbo, ...)
* For better profiling, it is possible to set the environment variable
NANOBENCH_ENDLESS to force endless running of a particular benchmark
without the need to recompile. This makes it to e.g. run "perf top"
and look at hotspots.

The RandomOrphan function and the function ecdsa_signature_parse_der_lax
in pubkey.cpp were causing non-deterministic test coverage.
Force seed in the beginning of the test to make it deterministic.
The seed is selected carefully so that all branches of the function
ecdsa_signature_parse_der_lax are executed. Prior to this fix, the test
was exhibiting non-deterministic coverage since none of the ECDSA
signatures that were generated during the test had leading zeroes in
either R, S, or both, resulting in some branches of said function not
being executed. The seed ensures that both conditions are hit.
Removed denialofservice_tests test entry from the list of non-deterministic
tests in the coverage script.

* Adds support for asymptotes
This adds support to calculate asymptotic complexity of a benchmark.
This is similar to #17375, but currently only one asymptote is
supported, and I have added support in the benchmark `ComplexMemPool`
as an example.
Usage is e.g. like this:
```
./bench_bitcoin -filter=ComplexMemPool -asymptote=25,50,100,200,400,600,800
```
This runs the benchmark `ComplexMemPool` several times but with
different complexityN settings. The benchmark can extract that number
and use it accordingly. Here, it's used for `childTxs`. The output is
this:

The best fitting curve is O(n^2), so the algorithm seems to scale
quadratic with `childTxs` in the range 25 to 800.
fa13090d20 contrib: Remove optimize-pngs.py script, which lives in the maintainer repo (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Moved to https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-maintainer-tools/blob/master/optimize-pngs.py
Bitcoin Core should focus on the full node implementation, not on scripts to compress png images.
This script is only used when new PNG files are added to the repo. This happens about once every two years. So fetching the script from the other repo should not be a burden, but removing it from this repo is going to cut down on the meta files we need to maintain in the main repo.

332f373a9d [scripts] previous_release: improve failed download error message (Sebastian Falbesoner)
Pull request description:
Currently, if the earlier release build/fetch script `previous_release.sh` is invoked with the option `-b` (intending to fetch a binary package from `https://bitcoin.org`) and the download fails, the user sees the following confusing output:
```
$ contrib/devtools/previous_release.sh -r -b v0.9.5
[...]
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
```
This implies that the download worked, but the archive is corrupted, when in reality the HTML document containing the delivery fail reason (most likely 404 Not Found) is saved and tried to get unpacked. In contrast to wget, curl is a bit stubborn and needs explicit instructions to react to server errors via the flag `-f` (outputs error message and returns error code, ideal for scripts): https://curl.haxx.se/docs/manpage.html#-f
On the PR branch, the output on failed download looks now the following:
```
