7d7bf2ff4a build: set minimum supported macOS to 10.12 (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Extracted from #16392 as this doesn't need to wait for the other build changes.
Reasoning:
* `10.10` has been unsupported since July 2017 (~3 years at `v0.20.0` release)
* `10.11` has been unsupported since July 2018 (~2 years at `v0.20.0` release)
* macOS users are consistent at upgrading to new releases.
* Qt 5.12 LTS only supports [macOS > 10.12](https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qt5-5.12/supported-platforms.html). As long as we're supporting macOS < 10.12 we would not be able to bump Qt in depends to 5.12 for the `v0.20.0` release.
Once we drop support for 10.12 and start using the 10.15 SDK there are some other follow ups:
* Enabling support for [`thread_local`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/configure.ac#L901).
* Removing some of the macOS notification code
* Removing macOS [startup item code](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/src/qt/guiutil.cpp#L695).
There was also some related discussion in the `#bitcoin-builds` channel yesterday arvo.

feb5075777 build: use osslsigncode 2.0 in gitian (fanquake)
Pull request description:
The original osslsigncode project, https://sourceforge.net/projects/osslsigncode, has been marked as abandonware:
> This is now - and has been for a long while - abandonware. Feel free to create your own forks etc.".
However, a fork has emerged, https://github.com/mtrojnar/osslsigncode, that has incorporated
theuni's patches ([add the -pem option in extract-signature mode ](36715c1183) & [add the attach-signature command](3be7eb1676)) as well as updated the tool to work with OpenSSL 1.1 and other improvements.
This commit switches the windows signer descriptor to use this new version of `osslsigncode`.
I've tested using this new version of `osslsigncode` while doing a 0.18.1 gitian build, and it "seems" to work. However this needs a look over from Cory, to check if the tool is still compatible with his usage in the [`detached-sig-create.sh`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/windeploy/detached-sig-create.sh) script, as well as some review of the changes to `osslsigncode` itself. Hence WIP and chasing Concept ACKs / NACKs.

Pull request description:
This is part of the [assumeutxo project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/11):
Parent PR: #15606
Issue: #15605
Specification: https://github.com/jamesob/assumeutxo-docs/tree/master/proposal
---
This changeset defines the serialization format for UTXO snapshots and adds an RPC command for creating them, `dumptxoutset`. It also adds a convenience script for generating and verifying snapshots at a certain height, since that requires doing a hacky rewind of the chain via `invalidateblock`.
All of this is unused at the moment.

bd3f5a90ec build: remove mingw linker workaround from win gitian descriptor (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This workaround was added as part of the switch to gitian building using Ubuntu 14.04 (#6900).
However, it should no longer be required, as we have switched to Bionic (#13171) and that
has a far newer version of binutils.

Linux:
The README was originally added in 8550f1fb2, but included the README
under the docs directory, which has a bunch of internal links that won't
make sense in a release tarball. In this patch, we include the root
level README instead, which makes more sense.
Windows:
.md files are inconvenient to open on windows and the line endings
differ, so we use README_windows.txt instead.
7fb7acfc20 Set init stop timeout to 10 min (setpill)
Pull request description:
`bitcoind` can take a long time to flush its db cache to disk upon
shutdown. Systemd sends a `SIGKILL` after a timeout, causing unclean
shutdowns and triggering a long "Rolling forward" at the next startup.
Disabling the timeout should prevent this from happening, and does not
break systemd's `restart` logic.
Addresses #13736.

3284e6c09a scripts: search for next position of magic bytes rather than fail (Tim Akinbo)
Pull request description:
When using the `linearize-data.py` contrib script to export block data, there are edge cases where the script fails with an `Invalid magic: 00000000` error. This error occurs due to the presence of padding bytes that occasionally appears between consecutive blocks in the block data file.
There's an ongoing conversation about this in #14986. sipa also admitted that it is a bug in #5028. Fortunately, this is not an issue in bitcoin core as it handles this type of situation gracefully and so no fix in bitcoin core is required.
This PR is an improvement on how the script handles these "invalid magic bytes". Rather than failing, this patch allows the script to search for the next occurrence of the magic bytes and then starts reading the block from there.

Debug splitting was first introduced in 7e7eb2724, then gitian-linux.yml
changed to using split-debug.sh in 9d2536208. Here we change
gitian-win.yml to use split-debug.sh as well.
- Change regular expression to cover recent versions, as well as
subversions with custom uacomment, and improve readability.
- Vary uptime requirements per network (onions are allowed to have less
uptime, to make sure we get enough of them)
- Add deduplication step (to allow simple concatentation of multiple seeds files).
- Log of number of nodes (per network) after every step.
This workaround was added as part of the switch to gitian building using Ubuntu 14.04 (#6900).
However, it should no longer be required, as we have switched to Bionic (#13171), and that
has a far newer version of binutils.
