Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#24065: build: explicitly disable support for external signing on Windows
e2ab9f83f8 build: disable external signer on Windows (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  This change explicitly disables support for external signing when targeting Windows and OpenBSD. The driver for this is that Boost Process uses boost::filesystem internally, when targeting Windows, which gets in the way of removing our usage of it (#20744). While we could adjust #20744 to still link against the Boost libs when building for Windows, that would be disappointing, as we wouldn't have cleanly removed the Boost usage we're trying too (including the build infrastructure), and, we'd be in a position where we would be building releases differently depending on the platform, which is something I want to avoid.

  After discussion with Sjors, Achow and Hebasto, this seemed like a reasonable step to move #20744 forward (as-is). Note that support for external signing ([while already being experimental](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/external-signer.md#example-usage)), could be considered even more experimental on Windows. Also, oddly, we have external-signing [explicitly disabled in our Windows (cross-compile) CI](807169e10b/ci/test/00_setup_env_win64.sh (L16)), it's not clear why this is the case, as, if it's a feature being built into releases, it should be being built and tested in the CI which is most-like the release process.

  There is an [issue open upstream](https://github.com/boostorg/process/issues/207), in regards to migrating Boost Process to std::filesystem, or having an option to use it. However there hasn't been much discussion since it was opened ~9 months ago. There is another related issue here: https://github.com/klemens-morgenstern/boost-process/issues/164.

  Resolves #24036.

What is Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Bitcoin whitepaper.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
