2712742 doc: Update FreeBSD build instructions to use bdb4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

c0298b0 contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
b798f9b contrib: New clang patch for install_db4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
This PR improves the BSD compatibility of the bdb4 installer script.
See #11921, #11868.
I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc).
This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~.
~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~
### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4
Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally.
Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch.
### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4
Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell.
Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly.
### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh
Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.
Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

Instead of maintaining not-easily-tested instructions for building BerkeleyDB
in doc/build-unix.md, package the installation as a script in contrib/. This
allows shared usage from a number of contexts, e.g. Docker.
Thanks to @jonasschnelli, @laanwj for feedback.

Pull request description:
As @fanquake mentioned in #8639, this should probably be a file in `doc/`, so I went ahead and pulled the issue text via the github API and dumped it into a file. No modifications made, except one spelling fix. This makes the info easier to find, and it will get a proper version history, too.

python3 is required for running the unit tests on macOS, Ubuntu and Fedora.
Without python3 installed, 'make check' fails because /test/util/bitcoin-util-test.py fails to find python3.
Fixed formatting as requested on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7589
Description:
Documentation was unclear in this section and could be interpreted to mean that boost was not a hard requirement for older Ubuntu versions.
Related: #7587
- There is no libboost-base-dev, no idea how I ended up with this
- Without that, installing separate boost packages works fine on both
Ubuntu 14.04 and Debian 7 (tested on VMs), this did not use to be
the case, AFAIK.
- Add a missing 'sudo' for consistency
- Need `bsdmainutils` for `hexdump` (for the tests)

If a user hasn't ready run autogen.sh, configure doesn't yet exist. Do the instructions seem to presume you have already built bitcoin? I don't think they do.
Would stifle beginners.
Update build-unix.md
It is unreasonable to ask to change the global package configuration
just to build a package. Not only that, this is potentially harmful to the system.
Also do a few punctuation fixes in REST-interface.md.
