Pull request description:

  Continues #30005. Closes #17012..

  This PR adds PCP (Port Control Protocol) from [RFC6887](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc6887).  This adds, in addition to the existing IPv4 port mapping (which now uses PCP, with fallback to NAT-PMP), support for IPv6 pinholing-that is, opening a port on the firewall to make it reachable.

  PCP, like NAT-PMP is a simple UDP-based protocol, and the implementation is self-contained, so this gets rid of lthe libnatpnp dependency without adding a new one. It should otherwise be a drop-in replacement. NAT-PMP fallback is implemented so this will not make router support worse.

  For now it is disabled by default, though in the future (not in this PR) we could consider enable it by default to increase the number of connectable nodes without adding significant attack surface.

  To test:
  ```bash
  bitcoind -regtest -natpmp=1 -debug=net
  ```

  (most of the changes in this PR are, ironically, removing the libnatpmp dependency and associated build system and build docs)

  ## TODO

  - [x] Default gateway discovery on Linux / FreeBSD
  - [x] Default gateway discovery on Windows
  - [x] Default gateway discovery on MacOS
  - [x] Either solve FreeBSD compile issue (probably upstream issue) or remove FreeBSD support

  ## Things to consider for follow-up PRs

  - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30043#discussion_r1658764974 avoid unreachable nets (not given to -onlynet=)

  - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30043#discussion_r1658949236 could announce an addr:port where we do not listen (no -bind)

  - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30043#discussion_r1684368824 could announce the wrong port because it uses GetListenPort()

  - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30043#discussion_r1679709347 if we requested one port but another was assigned, then which one to use in the renewal?

  - https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30043#discussion_r1772017020 Use `GetAdapterAddresses` to discover local addresses for Windows

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
