By blanket passing --disable-dependency-tracking to all depends packages
we end up with some warnings like:
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --disable-dependency-tracking
So instead, only pass it to packages that understand it.
Related to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16354.
We use pkg-config where we can, which generally replaces libtool at a
higher level and does not have the same downsides as libtool. These
archives sit in our depends tree with no purpose and pollute the final
bitcoin build with massive overlinking.
Some dependency sources were downloaded via http, even though https (SSL/TLS) options are available.
Even if we potentially check the integrity of the downloaded files via hash comparison, we should make
use of this additional security layer.
