Previously, we would specify the makensis output file path twice:
1. At the top of Makefile.am as BITCOIN_WIN_INSTALLER, and
2. In share/setup.nsi.ini
This commit uses the -X flag of makensis to eliminate the need for the
second instance mentioned above, referring makensis directly to the
value of BITCOIN_WIN_INSTALLER
- Add "--no-insert-timestamp" LDFLAG for x86_64-w64-mingw32 builds
"The option --no-insert-timestamp can be used to insert a zero value for
the timestamp, this ensuring that binaries produced from identical
sources will compare identically." - ld(1)
- Set "SetDateSave off" in NSIS script
From https://nsis.sourceforge.io/Docs/Chapter4.html#flags
"This command sets the file date/time saving flag which is used by the
File command to determine whether or not to save the last write date and
time of the file, so that it can be restored on installation. Valid
flags are 'on' and 'off'. 'on' is the default."
- Add commented out NSIS options for reproducibility debugging in NSIS
script
- Make ZIPs deterministic by reseting file modification times to
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH using touch(1) (Reference:
https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/archives/)

8563341714 Bugfix: NSIS: Exclude Makefile* from docs (Luke Dashjr)
Pull request description:
Otherwise, the generated Makefile is included in the NSIS-installed documentation, which can lead to non-determinism (eg, if gawk is installed on some build VMs, but others only have mawk)
(gawk is part of the standard Ubuntu bionic server install, but for some reason missing on many other developers' build VMs.)
(Branch is safe to merge cleanly into 0.14-0.17 branches also)
Testing requested. I have a separate `fix_nsis_makefile` branch directly on the `v0.17.0rc1` tag, which produces for me (with gawk installed):

Otherwise, the generated Makefile is included in the NSIS-installed documentation, which can lead to non-determinism (eg, if gawk is installed on some build VMs, but others only have mawk)
The NSIS script tried to delete wxwidgets-based executables/locales. These files are ancient, and presumably no users have them anymore, so we can simplify the NSIS script by removing those lines.
Replaces the hardcoded string "bitcoin" with the autoconf variable PACKAGE_TARNAME; fixes#7265.
Places where I chose not to replace:
1. bitcoin.ico wasn't replaced because it doesn't seem to be relevant to the build system and its filename never affects the end user.
2. InstallDir wasn't replaced because the current text has an uppercase B, and I'm not sure of a good way to capitalize the result of PACKAGE_TARNAME.
3. A comment in the Main Installer section wasn't replaced because comments don't ever face the end user.
4. The registry value "URL:Bitcoin" wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
5. Startup shortcut wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
All other appearances of "bitcoin" were replaced with PACKAGE_TARNAME, except for the bin names, which were instead replaced with the new bin name autoconf variables.
