6b5506a286 Fix Qt's rcc determinism for depends/gitian (Fuzzbawls)
Pull request description:
With the update to Qt 5.9 having been merged, Qt's `rcc` tool now embeds a file's last modified time in it's output. Since the build system generates temporary files for all locale translations (`*.qm` files) at build time, the resulting `qrc_bitcoin_locale.cpp` file was always being generated in a non-deterministic way.
This is a backport of https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-62511, which is included in Qt versions 5.11+, that allows for an environment variable (`QT_RCC_SOURCE_DATE_OVERRIDE`) to override the behavior described above. This environment variable is in turn set in the gitian descriptors, as that is where determinism is vital for release purposes.
Prior to this, the `qt_libbitcoinqt_a-qrc_bitcoin_locale.o` object file (included into `libbitcoinqt.a`) was returning a different `sha256sum` for each and every build, regardless of file contents change, thus breaking determinism in the resulting binaries.

Release version strings were broken in Gitian by 7522. This is a minimal fix
suitable for 0.15.
After this, we should fix up version handling for good so that gitian packages
the correct string in the release tarball, so that git is not required to get
the tag name.

This removes the following executables from the binary gitian release:
- test_bitcoin-qt[.exe]
- bench_bitcoin[.exe]
@jonasschnelli and me discussed this on IRC a few days ago - unlike the
normal `bitcoin_tests` which is useful to see if it is safe to run
bitcoin on a certain OS/environment combination, there is no good reason
to include these. Better to leave them out to reduce the download
size.
Sizes from the 0.12 release:
```
2.4M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/bench_bitcoin.exe
22M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/test_bitcoin-qt.exe
```
Common sentiment is that the miniupnpc codebase likely contains further
vulnerabilities.
I'd prefer to get rid of the dependency completely, but a compromise for
now is to at least disable it by default.
For Gitian releases:
- Windows builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ was already linked statically.
- OSX builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ is tied to the SDK and not worth
messing with.
- Linux builds now statically link libstdc++.
For Travis:
- Match the previous behavior by adding --enable-reduce-exports as
necessary.
- Use static libstdc++ for the full Linux build.
Since permissions and timestamps are changed for the sake of determinism,
. must not be added to the archive. Otherwise, tar may try to modify pwd when
extracting.
Descriptors now make use of the dependencies builder, so results are cached.
A very new version (>= e9741525c) of Gitian should be used in order to take
advantage of caching.
