444409ff2b ci: Reduce Alpine musl task to md runner size (MarcoFalke)
fa6b2e9efe ci: Turn centos config into alpine musl config (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/33437
Historically, the centos task was added to add CI coverage for old packages and 32-bit depends builds, but both are now covered by different tasks.
The CentOS task aligns with Ubuntu/Debian CI tasks in terms of libc usage, but (slightly) differs in package naming and update philosophy. I am not aware of the task ever discovering a centos-related issue, so it seems fine to recycle it into an Alpine Linux task.
The main difference would be that musl libc is now used. Also, busybox is used in Alpine, so in theory the busybox install could be removed from the arm CI task in the future.
Packaging considerations: All packages should roughly be the same (gcc remains at version 14, python remains at version 3.12, etc). Also, all packages are from the Alpine main track, coming with 2 years of support. The only exception is the py3-pip package (https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/packages?name=py3-pip&branch=v3.22&repo=&arch=riscv64) from the community track, however, I don't expect any issues arising from that.

e1a1b14c93 ci: use a more generic way of finding mt.exe (Max Edwards)
7ae0497eef ci: remove 3rd party js from windows dll gha job (Max Edwards)
Pull request description:
The windows job uses the external dependency `ilammy/msvc-dev-cmd` which runs javascript. We use this to put various tools on the path such as `MSBuild.exe` and `mt.exe`. We can remove this dependency and use `vswhere.exe` directly to find these tools and create a "[Developer command prompt](https://github.com/microsoft/vswhere/wiki/Start-Developer-Command-Prompt#using-powershell)" as someone would on their dev machine.
While in this area of the code, this PR also runs some additional manifest checks on the windows binaries.

The other executables have manifests and these should be checked in
addition to bitcoind. Skipping fuzz.exe, bench_bitcoin.exe and
test_bitcoin-qt.exe as they do not have manifests.
This sets up a vs developer command prompt and should hopefully should
be more resilient to upstream changes

We can use vswhere.exe directly to create a vs developer
prompt and so can remove this third party dependency.

Add an optional matrix field allowing opt-out of configuring cirrus
GHA cache when not using cirrus runners.
This is not needed for the cirruslabs/[save|restore]-cache actions, as
they automatically fallback based on runner type.
fa8f081af3 ci: Checkout latest merged pulls (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Currently, the `actions/checkout@v5` checks out pull requests merged against master, which is what we want.
However, it checks out ancient/stale merge commits on a re-run. This is documented (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/manage-workflow-runs/re-run-workflows-and-jobs):
> Re-run workflows [...] will also use the same GITHUB_SHA (commit SHA) and GITHUB_REF (git ref) of the original event that triggered the workflow run.
For example:
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/actions/runs/17458152407/job/49579638898?pr=29641#step:9:914 compiles with IPC=ON, even though latest master is at ed2ff3c63d
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32989#issuecomment-3133536724 (example explained in comment)
This is problematic, because:
* Unrelated CI failures and intermittent issues, which are fixed or worked around in latest master can not be cleaned by re-running the task. The author has to actively go out and (force-)push the branch, invalidating review.
* It is odd to have a recent CI run, but it uses code and config from the past.
* Detecting silent merge conflicts by re-running the CI task is impossible.
Fix all issues by checking out the latest merged state of the pull request. The behavior is unchanged for non-pull-request actions. This patch changes the "re-run" default behaviour. Forcing it to use the new state instead of running the old state again.

5eeb2facbb ci: reduce runner sizes on various jobs (will)
Pull request description:
These jobs can likely use reduced runner sizes to avoid wasting our CPU quota, as much of the long-running part of the job is single-threaded.
This will also give us more (job) parallelisem from the same number of CPU that we are using.

Set new `BitcoinTestFramework.binary_paths.bitcoin_bin` property with path to
the `bitcoin` wrapper binary. This allows new tests for `bitcoin-mine` in
#30437 and `bitcoin-cli` in #32297 to find the `bitcoin` binary and call
`bitcoin -m` to start nodes with IPC support. This way the new tests can run
whenever the ENABLE_IPC build option is enabled, instead of only running when
the `BITCOIN_CMD` environment variable is set to `bitcoin -m`
Previously jobs were running on a large multi-core server where 10 jobs
as default made sense (or may even have been on the low side).
Using hosted runners with fixed (and lower) numbers of vCPUs we should
adapt compilation to match the number of cpus we have dynamically.
This is cross-platform compatible with macos and linux only.
To remove multiple occurances of the respository name, against which we
compare `${{ github.repository }}` to check if we should use Cirrus
Runners, introduce a helper job which can check a single environment
variable and output this as an input to subsequent jobs.
Forks can maintain a trivial patch of their repo name against the
`REPO_USE_CIRRUS_RUNNERS` variable in ci.yml if they have Cirrus Runners
of their own, which will then enable cache actions and docker build
cache to use Cirrus Cache.
It's not possible to use `${{ env.USE_CIRRUS_RUNNERS }}` in the
`runs-on:` directive as the context is not supported by GitHub.
If it was, this job would no longer be necessary.
Whilst the action cirruslabs/actions/cache will automatically set this
host, the docker `gha` build cache backend will not be aware of it.
Set the value here, which will later be used in the docker build args to
enable docker build cache on the cirrus cache.
If set, Cirrus runners will be used on pushes to, and pull requests
against, this repository.
Forks can set this if they have their own cirrus runners.

Pull request description:
This PR updates the `test/get_previous_releases.py` script to also work on Windows by changing to be pure python rather than using unix tools such as `curl` and `tar`.
This enables additional functional tests to run such as `wallet_migration.py`, `mempool_compatability.py` and `wallet_backwards_compatibility.py`.
Unfortunately `feature_unsupported_utxo_db.py` _could_ run but this test requires Bitcoin `v0.14.3` which will not run under windows with emojis in the data directory (as the functional test runner has by default) . This test could be run as it's own step in the ci workflow file and would pass but as it's quite an old version / feature I have assumed it's not worth worrying about and best just to exclude.
Two tests needed to be slightly modified to run under windows. Both were issues with trying to overwrite a file that already exists which windows seems to be more strict on than the unix based systems.
Finally, building from source has been dropped from the `get_previous_releases.py` script. This had not been updated after the move to cmake and so it was assumed that nobody could have been using that feature.

This test required v0.14.3 which doesn't support special characters like
emojis in the datapath on windows. Functional test runner includes a few
emojis in it's default data directory.
