This is already used in multiple CIs, and will soon become a requirement
for most CIs, i.e when we migrate depends packages to use CMake, for
example:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21778#issuecomment-1885576324.
Some of the CIs in 21778 are failing because CMake isn't available, so
just break this out and make CMake globally available.
This is required for the next commit. Also, drop CI_RETRY_EXE before
"dnf install", because it requires getopt, which will only be installed
later on via util-linux
Don't enable `-Werror` (in the CI) for compilers at least older than
our current release compiler (GCC 10). It provides little-to-no value,
other than turning compiler bugs & false positives into build failures,
and we aren't going to mutate perfectly fine/working code, for the sake
of avoid a warning that shouldn't even exist.
I also do not see the point of playing whack-a-mole and turning off various
warnings/trying to further work around the broken compiler, just to
acheive warningless builds for the sake of warningless builds.
One anecdote from "How SQLite Is Tested":
> Static analysis has found a few bugs in SQLite, but those are the
> exceptions. More bugs have been introduced into SQLite while trying
> to get it to compile without warnings than have been found by static

DOCKER in names is confusingly used as synonym for "image", "container",
and "ci". Fix the confusion by picking the term that fits the context.
-BEGIN VERIFY SCRIPT-
ren() { sed -i "s:$1:$2:g" $( git grep -l "$1" ) ; }
ren DOCKER_PACKAGES CI_BASE_PACKAGES
# This better reflects that they are the common base for all CI
# containers.
ren DOCKER_ID CI_CONTAINER_ID
# This is according to the documentation of "--detach , -d: Run
# container in background and print container ID".
ren DOCKER_NAME_TAG CI_IMAGE_NAME_TAG
# This avoids confusing with CONTAINER_NAME and clarifies that it is an
# image.
ren DOCKER_ADMIN CI_CONTAINER_CAP
# This clarifies that it is a capability added to the container.
ren DOCKER_CI_CMD_PREFIX CI_EXEC_CMD_PREFIX
# This brings it in line with the CI_EXEC naming.

An earlier version of #16546 used both --with-boost-process and --enable-external-signer, which was simplified to only use the latter. However I forgot to update CI, so the external signer tests were not run.
