Pull request description:
This replaces `boost::shared_mutex` and `boost::unique_lock` with [`std::shared_mutex`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/shared_mutex) & [`std::unique_lock`](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/thread/unique_lock).
Even though [some concerns were raised](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16684#issuecomment-726214696) in #16684 with regard to `std::shared_mutex` being unsafe to use across some glibc versions, I still think this change is an improvement. As I mentioned in #21022, I also think trying to restrict standard library feature usage based on bugs in glibc is not only hard to do, but it's not currently clear exactly how we do that in practice (does it also extend to patching out use in our dependencies, should we be implementing more runtime checks for features we are using, when do we consider an affected glibc "old enough" not to worry about? etc). If you take a look through the [glibc bug tracker](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/describecomponents.cgi?product=glibc) you'll no doubt find plenty of (active) bug reports for standard library code we already using. Obviously not to say we shouldn't try and avoid buggy code where possible.
Two other points:
[Cory mentioned in #21022](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21022#issuecomment-769274179):
> It also seems reasonable to me to worry that boost hits the same underlying glibc bug, and we've just not happened to trigger the right conditions yet.
Moving away from Boost to the standard library also removes the potential for differences related to Boosts configuration. Boost has multiple versions of `shared_mutex`, and what you end up using, and what it's backed by depends on:
* The version of Boost.
* The platform you're building for.
* Which version of `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION` is defined: (2,3,4 or 5) default=2. (see [here](https://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_70_0/doc/html/thread/build.html#thread.build.configuration) for some of the differences).
* Is `BOOST_THREAD_V2_SHARED_MUTEX` defined? (not by default). If so, you might get the ["less performant, but more robust"](https://github.com/boostorg/thread/issues/230#issuecomment-475937761) version of `shared_mutex`.
A lot of these factors are eliminated by our use of depends, but users will have varying configurations. It's also not inconceivable to think that a distro, or some package manager might start defining something like `BOOST_THREAD_VERSION=3`. Boost tried to change the default from 2 to 3 at one point.
With this change, we no longer use Boost Thread, so this PR also removes it from depends, the build system, CI etc.

riscv builds are currently failing because -latomic isn't being linked
against, when it is needed:
```bash
/home/ubuntu/build/bitcoin/distsrc-riscv64-linux-gnu/src/bitcoin-util.cpp:98: undefined reference to `__atomic_exchange_1'
```
This exteneds our macro to ensure that -latomic is linked against when
required.
366913e307 build: AX_BOOST_THREAD serial 33 (Igor Cota)
cf0681133a build: disable D-Bus on Android by default (Igor Cota)
Pull request description:
I've been trying to build for Android on different OSes/Gitian with varying success. Build system is quite the beast and sometimes it doesn't get it right. To make sure it does these three little tweaks make the Android build more robust:
- disable D-Bus (Android doesn't support it and has its own way to trigger notifications)
- don't flag `-lpthread` when linking Boost, [Bionic has built-in support](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30801752/android-ndk-and-pthread)
- ~~add `-static-libstdc++` to linker flags. This avoids having to bundle `libc++_shared` with CLI apps, still necessary with `bitcoin-qt` though (thanks Sjors)~~
I think these are small and fairly straightforward so I put them all into this one PR.

Pull request description:
This PR makes `bitcoin_qt.m4` to use `pkg-config` for all hosts and removes non-pkg-config paths from it. This is a step towards the idea which was clear [stated](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8314#issue-76644643) by Cory Fields:
> I believe the consensus is to treat Windows like the others and require pkg-config across the board. We can drop all of the non-pkg-config paths, and simply AC_REQUIRE(PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG)
There are two unsolved problems with this PR. If depends is built with `DEBUG=1` the `configure` script fails to pickup Qt:
- for macOS host (similar to, but not the same as #16391)
- for Windows host (regression)
The fix is ~on its way~ submitted in #18298 (as a followup).
Also this PR picks some small improvements from #17820.

This change adds to the BITCOIN_QT_CONFIGURE script ability to use
pkg-config for MinGW. All of the non-pkg-config paths are removed as
needless.
If depends is built with DEBUG=1 the configure script fails to pickup
Qt:
- for macOS host (similar, but not the same as issue 16391)
- for Windows host (regression)

Added "db4_cxx" as this is the name used in NetBSD for the Berkeley DB library. Without this additional base filename alternative, the "configure" script will fail to find this library and compilation will not succeed.
