This primarily improves support for external signing, as it includes
multiple bugfixes for Boost Process. As well as various improvements to
the multi-index library.

Rewrite the manual page generation script in Python.
This:
- solves '-' stripping issue (fixes#22681)
- makes that a copyright footer is generated correctly again
Also change the release process to swap gen-manpages and update RC steps, so that the pages will have the correct rc and/or final version.

Pull request description:
This PR is a follow-up to the [#22902](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22902).
Previously, the tracepoint `utxocache:flush` was called, even when it was not flushing. So, the tracepoint is now scoped to write only when coins cache to disk.

The documentation and examples for the `fFlushForPrune` argument

at the code.

Bitcoin Core uses temporary clones of it's _main_ UTXO cache in some
places. The utxocache:add and :spent tracepoints are triggered when
temporary caches are changed too. This is documented.

Pull request description:
The aim of this PR is to improve the ability to monitor soft fork status. It first moves the softfork section from getblockchaininfo into a new RPC named getdeploymentinfo, which is then also able to query the status of forks at an arbitrary block rather than only at the tip. In addition, bip9 status is changed to indicate the status of the given block, rather than just for the next block, and an additional field is included to indicate whether each block in the signalling period signaled.

86a4a15bdc Highlight DNS request part (Prayank)
Pull request description:
_What?_
Highlight DNS requests part in Proxy section
_Why?_
1. DNS requests are very important while considering privacy
2. Lot of users might skip reading it because of the way it is mixed with everything else in the doc right now
3. I have seen lot of users ignoring DNS requests or unaware of such things while using privacy tools
_How?_
Initially I had tried keeping these lines separate from code block but [Jonatack didn't agree with the changes](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21157#discussion_r618177116). Harding suggested using [bold/italic in `<pre></pre>`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21157#discussion_r644364143). I have used the suggestions from previous PR and added `---`

92a0f7e58d test: parse the command line arguments in unit tests (Vasil Dimov)
Pull request description:
Previously command line arguments passed to unit and fuzz tests would be ignored by the tests themselves. They would be used by the boost test framework (e.g. `--run_test="addrman_tests/*"`) or by the fuzzer (e.g. `-runs=1`). However both provide ways to pass down the extra arguments to the test itself. Use that, parse the arguments and make them available to the tests via `gArgs`.
This makes the tests more flexible as they can be run with any bitcoind config option specified on the command line.
When creating `AddrMan` objects in tests, use `-checkaddrman=` (if provided) instead of hardcoding the check ratio in many different places. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/20233#issuecomment-889813074 for further motivation for this.

Retrieve the command line arguments from the fuzzer and save them for
later retrieval by `BasicTestingSetup` so that we gain extra flexibility
of passing any config options on the test command line, e.g.:
```
FUZZ=addrman ./src/test/fuzz/fuzz --checkaddrman=5
```
A fuzz test should call `MakeNoLogFileContext<>()` in its initialize
function in order to invoke the constructor of `BasicTestingSetup`,
which sets `gArgs`.

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.

We can follow up with #23819, #23907 and #23296, and if any serious issues arise before feature freeze, it is easy for us to flip depends such that USDT becomes opt-in, rather than opt-out, and thus, releases would be tracepoint free.

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`

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.

Previously, the `utxocache:flush` tracepoint was in the wrong scope and
reached every time `CChainState::FlushStateToDisk` was called, even when
there was no flushing of the cache. The tracepoint is now properly scoped
and will be reached during a full flush.
Inside the scope, the `fDoFullFlush` value will always be `true`, so it
doesn't need to be logged separately. Hence, it's dropped from the
tracepoint arguments.

Pull request description:
Since RBF was first implemented and BIP125 was written, our code has changed, people have highlighted implementation differences, and some people have proposed further changes to it. Many people seem to support the idea of documenting our _current_ RBF policy as it stands today.
As the ancestor/descendant limit carve-out exemptions are very related to RBF, it seemed appropriate to group them with this PR.
Related to #22806 - it seems that these policies are the most confusing for people, or at least the most documentation-requested.

It can be argued that BIP125#1 signaling is honored because
descendants of signaling transactions are replaceable by RBF.
Regardless, since there are multiple details in our RBF policy that are
not captured in BIP125, point to our doc instead.
