One of the issues observed during the 22.0rc1 release process was that a
codesigner's attestation mismatched non-codesigner attestations because
the guix-codesign step was performed prior to tagging the version in
bitcoin-detached-sigs.

Pull request description:
Based on: #21462
Keeping the README in one file so that it's easy to search through. Will add more jumping links later so navigation is easier.
Current TODOs:
- [x] Shell installer option: prompt user to re-login for `/etc/profile.d` entry to be picked up
- [x] Binary tarball option: prompt user to create `/etc/profile.d` entry and re-login
- [x] Fanquake docker option: complete section
- [x] Arch Linux AUR option: prompt to start `guix-daemon-latest` unit after finishing "optional setup" section
- [x] Building from source option: Insert dependency tree diagram that I made
- [x] Building from source option: redo sectioning, kind of a mess right now
- [x] Optional setup: make clear which parts are only needed if building from source
- [x] Workaround 1 for GnuTLS: perhaps mention how to remove Guix build farm's key
- [x] Overall (after everything): Make the links work.
Note to self: wherever possible, tell user how to check that something is true rather than branching by installation option.

ACK fac4814106 - going to go ahead and merge this now. It's a lot of documentation, and could probably be nit-picked / improved further, however, that can continue over the next few weeks. I'm sure more (backportable) improvements / clarifications will be made while we progress through RCs towards a new release.

To make release tags the `make-tag.py` script from the maintainer tools
should be used. This ensures that all the various occurences of the
version in different files match the tagged version before proceeding.
Also replace other "ping wumpus" references.
Removes the leading 0 from the version number. The minor version, which
we had been using as the major version, is now the major version. The
revision, which we had been using as the minor version, is now the minor
version. The revision number is dropped. The build number is promoted to
being part of the version number. This also avoids issues where it was
accidentally not included in the version number.
The CLIENT_VERSION remains the same format as previous as previously,
the Major version was 0 so that was never a factor in CLIENT_VERSION.
also:
- use the getblockheader (and getblockhash) RPCs instead of getblockchaininfo
for updating the nMinimumChainWork and defaultAssumeValid consensus params
- use "RPC" consistently
- update the example PR from 17002 to 20263
- improve a link with a named anchor tag

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 at https://github.com/mtrojnar/osslsigncode has emerged that has incorporated
theuni's patches, updated the tool to work with OpenSSL 1.1 and made other improvements.
This commit switches the windows signer descriptor to use this new version of osslsigncode.
eb4c43e49f doc: documents how to calculate m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on the release process. (marcoagner)
Pull request description:
Regarding [this](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15183#issuecomment-463133734) on https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15183.
Added an "Additional information" section for this which seems reasonable to me but may not be the best place for this. Also, let me know if anything else should be documented here (like more details).

- Create a release notes draft wiki for collaborative editing at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki as seen for releases 0.17.0 and 0.18.0.
- As per http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-03-28.html#l-342, for the period during which the notes are being edited on the wiki, the version on the branch should be wiped and replaced with a link to the wiki which should be used for all announcements until final.
- Before final, remove the "Needs release note" label from relevant PRs/issues and merge the release notes from the wiki into the branch.
- Create a pinned meta-issue dedicated to testing the release candidate and communicate it in release announcements where useful. The former is done in practice (e.g. #15555, #14902) and the latter addresses the discussion here: https://x0f.org/web/statuses/101753569204220416.
- Adapt and merge the updates in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15692.
- Update the version numbers in all the examples.
- Reorganise the headers in the Branch Updates section.
03b8596dd6 Add checksum in gitian build scripts for ossl (TheCharlatan)

9d0e52834 implements different disk sizes for different networks on intro (marcoagner)
Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13213.
Mostly, I layed out the concept to open the PR for refinement and getting feedback if the approach is okay. Changes are expected.
Two points:
- The values for both new consts `TESTNET_BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` and `TESTNET_CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` is certainly not optimal; I just checked the size of my testnet3 related dirs and set them to little bit higher values. Which values should be used?
- Should we do something like this to regtest? Or these "niceties" do not matter when on regtest?
Thanks!

This adds a checksum in the gitian build script to make sure that
ossl tool and theuni's patch matches what is expected. Also changes
the url to use https and adds the same instructions to the release docs.
- Creates m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on CChainParams.
- Implements access to CChainParams' m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on node interface.
- Implements m_assumed_blockchain_size and m_assumed_chain_state_size on qt/intro via node interface.
- Updates release process document with the new CChainParam's values.
- Remove dependency on sed (sed was overkill when you can just add plain
text to the git log --format command)
- Sort resulting list of authors alphabetically (case-insensitive)
- Provide an example of how to only generate authors between versions
