fa4943e8df doc: Add template for empty release notes (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
* Move release process notes from the release notes to the release process documentation
* Clarify that wallet RPC or Settings related release notes snippets should not be duplicated. I think it should be sufficient to only mention them in the wallet section and leave them out from the general RPC section.
* Create an empty template to ensure the release notes can be cleared with a single `cp` command. Also, this ensures that the "no duplication" note isn't deleted again. (We used to have it in at least the 22.0 and 21.0 release notes: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.0.md#updated-settings , but it was lost in the 23.0 notes)

42c202893b doc: Fix gen-manpages, rewrite in Python (laanwj)
Pull request description:
Rewrite the manual page generation script in Python.
This:
- solves '-' stripping issue (fixes#22681)
- makes that a copyright footer is generated correctly again
Also change the release process to swap gen-manpages and update RC steps, so that the pages will have the correct rc and/or final version.

64645fa3e0 Release process: fix broken link to Guix building docs (Jeremy Rand)

Not 100% sure whether this link was always broken or if the Guix docs renamed the heading at some point. Either way, seems good to fix it.

The uploaded binaries need to match the same flat directory structure of
the SHA256SUMS file in order for torrent downloaders to be able to
verify the download without moving files. Mention this in the release
process doc.
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.
