ae9175f608 build: add FreeBSD support to depends (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Setup to use the system Clang (11.0.1 as of FreeBSD 13.0).
Doesn't build the Qt package; that requires a few additional changes. The current issue is that FreeBSDs `byacc` seems to have an issue parsing something in libxkbcommon. Work in progress branch here: https://github.com/fanquake/bitcoin/tree/depends_support_freebsd_qt. In any case, I don't think building the Qt libs on FreeBSD is a super high priority (I'd also have no way to test the GUI).

This PR disables `libbsd` explicitly, as it's not a part of our depends. Zeromq will fallback to its internal `strlcpy` implementation.
Otherwise, on systems with installed `libbsd-dev` package the `zeromq` package build system erroneously detects `libbsd` package from the host system:

This causes the `configure` fails to detect the `zeromq` package:

Similar to how we specify the OS's we build Qt for, specify which OS's
we will build qrencode for (a qt dependency). This commit alone doesn't
change anything, but when we start supporting other OS's, i.e #23948,
where we wont support qt (or at least initially), it'll skip building
the qrencode package, which would be unused.

e158a2a7aa build: add systemtap's sys/sdt.h as depends (0xb10c)
Pull request description:
There has been light conceptual agreement on including the Userspace, Statically Defined Tracing tracepoints in Bitcoin Core release builds. This, for example, enables user to hook into production deployments, if they need to. Binaries don't have to be switched out. This is possible because we don't do [expensive computations](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/tracing.md#no-expensive-computations-for-tracepoints) only needed for the tracepoints. The tracepoints are NOPs when not used.
Systemtap's `sys/sdt.h` header is required to build Bitcoin Core with USDT support. The header file defines the `DTRACE_PROBE` macros used in [`src/util/trace.h`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/util/trace.h). This PR adds Systemtap 4.5 (May 2021) as dependency. GUIX builds for Linux hosts now include the tracepoints.
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/23297.

e09773d20a build: use a static .tiff for macOS .dmg over generating (fanquake)
Pull request description:
For demonstration, after [discussion in #23778](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23778#issuecomment-1003005503), and the question as to why we can't just have a `background.tiff` that we copy into the macOS DMG, and do away with the somewhat convoluted image generation steps.
From my understanding, the only reason we have this image generation as part of our build system is so that forks of Core can adapt the imagery for their own branding via `PACKAGE_NAME`. It don't think it provides much value to us, and could just have a static .tiff that we copy into the dmg (replacing the .svg that currently lives in macdeploy/).
Doing this would eliminate the following build dependencies:
For native macOS:
* `sed` (usage in Makefile.am)
* `librsvg` (rsvg-convert)
* `tiffutil`
Linux macOS cross-compile:
* `sed` (usage in Makefille.am)
* `librsvg`
* `tiffcp`
* `convert` (imagemagick)
* `font-tuffy`

This is required so that we can test for control flow in our ELF
security checks. Otherwise test_bitcoin will fail, as it has a main that
is provided by Boost, and wont have been built with
-fcf-protection=full.
While here simplify to using -fcf-protection for all x86_64 builds.
The sys/sdt.h header is required to build Bitcoin Core with Userspace
Statically Defined Tracing support. Systemtap version 4.5 (May 2021)
is used as the most recent version 4.6 (Nov 2021) fails to build.
See e.g. https://sourceware.org/git/?p=systemtap.git;a=commit;h=1d3653936fc1fd13135a723a27e6c7e959793ad0
As Systemtap itself is not needed, the build steps (configure and
make) are skipped. We require fewer build dependecies and don't
waste time building depends we don't end up using. However, the
configure step would normally processes sys/sdt-config.h.in. The
resulting sdt-config.h defines _SDT_ASM_SECTION_AUTOGROUP_SUPPORT
(either 0 or 1 to indicate whether the assembler supports "?" in
.pushsection directives). For now, we assume all currently used
assemblers supports this feature and remove the check from the
sys/sdt.h header file in a patch.

11736dbe3d build, qt: Hardcode last modified timestamp in Qt RCC (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Our Guix build system sets the [`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`](https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/) and propagates it to the depends build subsystem. Its [default value](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/guix/README.md#recognized-environment-variables) is the top commit timestamp.
After bumping Qt version up to 5.15.2, due to [this](1ffcca4cc2) change, every time they are going to make new Guix builds for another branch/commit they must ensure that the `qt` package will be rebuilt from scratch. Otherwise, Bitcoin Core GUI binaries will be non-deterministic.
Such behavior makes working with Guix builds suboptimal.
This PR fixes the described issue by patching Qt RCC and hardcoding last modified timestamps with `1`.
It's worth to mention that this change is compatible with a possible future [improvement](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21995) which makes each dependency package reproducible.
A drawback of such an approach is not currently applied to our project, as it effectively makes [QML cache files](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-57182) useless. I can't say it's a problem for the https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui-qml project.
---
**A note for thinkers:** For now this change is enough as only Qt source contains `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`. But in general we should re-think about treating the `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` variable in the depends build subsystem. For instance, its default value could be the output of `git log --format=%at -1 -- depends`.

1. Newer Fontconfig versions (2.13.0 and 2.13.1) introduce a new dependency, `uuid`, in the [`7b48fd3dd406b926f0e5240b211f72197ed538a9`](7b48fd3dd4) commit
2. In Fonconfig 2.13.1 (the current stable) excludes the `fcobjshash.h` from the distributive archive (see [`31269e3589e0e6432d12f55db316f4c720a090b5`](31269e3589)), that makes our `gperf_header_regen.patch` unusable, and requires `gperf` as a dependency.

ACK 6575d354c8 - from the best I can determine this doesn't have any versioning / ABI implications. The ABI difference between 2.12.1 and 2.12.6 is two symbol additions, neither of which are used by Qt. Fontconfig seems to be better at maintaining backwards compatibility compared to a library like Freetype.

2f356a0ca8 scripted-diff: Drop Darwin version for better maintainability (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
After this PR, any macOS tools version bumping in the future will touch fewer files in the repo.
Pointing a Darwin version for the `--host` system does not matter for the following reasons:
- in terms of the resulted binaries, we should only care about the minimum supported macOS version which is a separated parameter in our build system.
- in terms of the build system itself, the usage of the `$(host)` variable is self-consistent enough. Btw `$(host_os)` value already has the version dropped:
```
$ make -C depends --no-print-directory print-host_os HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin19
host_os=darwin
```

Very old shells suffered from bugs which meant that prefixing variables
with an "x" to ensure that the lefthand side of a comparison always
started with an alphanumeric character was needed. Modern shells don't
suffer from this issue (i.e Bash was fixed in 1996).
In any case, we've already got unprefixed checks used in our codebase,
i.e https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/configure.ac#L292,
and have dependencies (in depends) that also use unprefixed comparisons.
I think it's time that we can consolidate on not using the x-prefix
workaround. At best it's mostly just confusing.

ac323a7222 build: Switch to llvm buinutils for Android builds (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
The new Long Term Support release of the Android NDK is [available](https://groups.google.com/g/android-ndk-announce/c/MS6Qoub0DKE/m/Zfp5Ys8eAAAJ) since 2021-08-11:
> As r23 is the new LTS, the support windows for r21 and r22 have now ended.
On master (8ae4ba481c), dependency build fails because it expects GNU Binutils are present in the Android NDK. In [fact](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/BuildSystemMaintainers.md#binutils):
> GNU Binutils remains available up to and including r22. All binutils tools with the exception of the assembler (GAS) were removed in r23. GAS was removed in r24.
This PR switches our depends build system to llvm binutils. The usage of `llvm-ar` and `llvm-ranlib` tools effectively makes r21 the minimum supported version of NDK.
With this PR:
- building depends against NDK r23 LTS now is possible with `NO_QT=1`
- building the `qt` package in depends against NDK r23 LTS still fails:
```
Creating qmake...
...
ERROR: Cannot detect Android NDK toolchain.
Please use -android-toolchain-version to specify it.
```
The issue with the `qt` package is going to be addressed in another PR.
