5deb0b024e build, test, doc: Temporarily remove Android-related stuff (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
Previously, our Android builds were geared towards generating APKs, which relied on Qt. However, after migrating to C++20, compiling for Android became unfeasible due to Qt 5.15's compatibility limitations with NDK only up to r25, which includes an outdated embedded libc++ (see https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/29360).
All removed stuff will be reinstated after migrating the build system to CMake and upgrading Qt to version 6.x.
This PR makes possible a clean migration to the CMake-based build system as it removes code, which is not used at this moment.

Similar to libtool, (llvm-)otool only exists with a version suffix
on some systems (Ubuntu), which makes it annoying to use/find. Avoid
this, by switching to objdump. Which is a drop-in replacement.
This is related to #21778, and the switchover to using vanilla LLVM for
macOS.

The `ALLOW_HOST_PACKAGES` variable was introduced in bitcoin#10508 "to
speed up build and avoid timeout".
It is no longer the case for our CI infrastructure, which uses self-
hosted persistent workers and depends caching.
In the current circumstances, it does not seem worth porting this
feature to the upcoming CMake-based build system.
Add an option that when passed, will disable hardening options, and
pass `--disable-hardening` through to configure. Due to the way
we link libssp for Windows builds, they now fail (after #27118),
if building with depends, and configuring with --disable-hardening.
See:
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27118#issuecomment-1492606272.
This change would add a depends opiton such that, if someone wants to
build with, for windows, without hardening, they can do so. This may
also be useful when building for debugging.
Similar to how we specify the OS's we build Qt for, specify which OS's
we will build qrencode for (a qt dependency). This commit alone doesn't
change anything, but when we start supporting other OS's, i.e #23948,
where we wont support qt (or at least initially), it'll skip building
the qrencode package, which would be unused.
The sys/sdt.h header is required to build Bitcoin Core with Userspace
Statically Defined Tracing support. Systemtap version 4.5 (May 2021)
is used as the most recent version 4.6 (Nov 2021) fails to build.
See e.g. https://sourceware.org/git/?p=systemtap.git;a=commit;h=1d3653936fc1fd13135a723a27e6c7e959793ad0
As Systemtap itself is not needed, the build steps (configure and
make) are skipped. We require fewer build dependecies and don't
waste time building depends we don't end up using. However, the
configure step would normally processes sys/sdt-config.h.in. The
resulting sdt-config.h defines _SDT_ASM_SECTION_AUTOGROUP_SUPPORT
(either 0 or 1 to indicate whether the assembler supports "?" in
.pushsection directives). For now, we assume all currently used
assemblers supports this feature and remove the check from the
sys/sdt.h header file in a patch.

Pull request description:
This reduces the amount of syntax noise in the makefiles.
Setting V=1 still enables verbose logging.
The only noticeable difference in behavior is that, unless V=1 is specified, make won't print its own messages like
make: Nothing to be done for 'all', make: 'all' is up to date, or touch <file>, if -t is specified.

fa872c9af3 depends: Fix id_string invocations (Carl Dong)
Pull request description:
Closes: #21242
```
Reproduced from depends/Makefile comment:
When invoking a shell, GNU Make special-cases exit code 127 (command not
found) by not capturing the output but instead passing it through. This
is not done for any other exit code.
Therefore, we require a "|| true" to avoid this behaviour when in an
environment where the build_* or host_* may not exist yet.

a5491882a0 build: fix configuring when building depends with NO_BDB=1 (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Currently, if you build depends using `NO_BDB=1` (only sqlite wallets), `./configure` will fail as it still tries to find bdb. i.e:
```bash
make -C depends/ NO_QT=1 NO_BDB=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_ZMQ=1 NO_NATPMP=1 -j8
...
copying packages: native_b2 boost libevent sqlite
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=/home/ubuntu/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
...
checking for Berkeley DB C++ headers... default
configure: error: Found Berkeley DB other than 4.8, required for portable BDB wallets (--with-incompatible-bdb to ignore or --without-bdb to disable BDB wallet support)
```
This PR fixes the build such that you can build depends, opting out of bdb, without opting out of wallets entirely, and still configure successfully. I think I've tested across most potential configurations. i.e:
```bash
./configure (bdb and sqlite on system)
bdb & sqlite are both are available
./configure --without-bdb (bdb and sqlite on system)
only sqlite
./configure --without-sqlite (bdb and sqlite on system)
only bdb
./configure --disable-wallet (bdb and sqlite on system)
neither bdb or sqlite
depends NO_WALLET=1
./configure --prefix=/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0
neither bdb or sqlite
depends NO_BDB=1
./configure --prefix=/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0
only sqlite
depends NO_SQLITE=1
./configure --prefix=/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0
only bdb
depends
./configure --prefix=/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin19.6.0

We now use a script named gen_id to generate the base build_id/host_id.
This solves 2 problems:
1. GNU Make special-casing exit code 127 (command not found) meant that
warnings about missing tools would propagate to the user's terminal
and broke our opportunistic build_id construction.
2. This change ensures that we don't have arbitrary characters in our
make variables that would be misinterpreted by Make.
See comments in depends/Makefile and depends/gen_id for more
information.

This was missed in #20419, and the update before that, so just
make this un-versioned so that we don't have to worry about it.
This is fine, because it's just for downloading sources.
Instead of doing the awkward /bin path prepending at config.site
creation time, set darwin_{CC,CXX} in a way that fully determines the
program's path (clang/clang++) similar to how AC_PATH_{TOOL,PROG} would
do.
Also see the added comment block in depends/Makefile for more context on
determining $PATH for our config.site.
