It's come to light that Boost ASIO (a Boost Process sub dep) has in some
instances, been queitly initialising our network stack on Windows (see
PR #28486 and discussion in #28940).
This has been shielding a bug in our own code, but the larger issue
is that Boost Process/ASIO is running code before main, and doing things
like setting up networking. This undermines our own assumptions about
how our binary works, happens before we get to run any sanity checks,
and also runs before we call our own code to setup networking.
It's also not clear why a feature like external signer would have a
dependency that would be doing anything network/socket related, given it
only exists to spawn a local process.
fa5831bd6f build: Do not define `ENABLE_ZMQ` when ZMQ is not available (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
A new behavior is consistent with the other optional dependencies.
The source code contains `#if ENABLE_ZMQ` lines only:
```
$ git grep ENABLE_ZMQ -- src/*.cpp
src/init.cpp:#if ENABLE_ZMQ
src/init.cpp:#if ENABLE_ZMQ
src/init.cpp:#if ENABLE_ZMQ
src/init.cpp:#if ENABLE_ZMQ
src/init.cpp:#if ENABLE_ZMQ
```
Change in description line -- "Define to 1..." --> "Define this symbol.." -- is motivated by the fact that the actual value of the defined `ENABLE_ZMQ` macro does not matter at all.

We already use a mix of <cstdio> and stdio.h unconditionally throughout
the codebase.
Us checking this header also duplicates work already done by autotools.
Currently stdio.h is checked for 3 times during a ./configure run, after
this change, at least it's only twice.
We don't include strings.h anywhere.
This is also already checked for by autoconf, so us checking for it just
means a 3rd existence check during ./configure.
