indicating either is required.
- Move "CMake" into the required table.
- Move "Python" into the optional table.
- Merge the optional dependencies into one table. Removed sub-headers
are put into parentheses behind the dependency name in the first
column.
- Replace the whitespace in the "Minimum required" column of "qrencode"
with "N/A" for consistency.
- Add missing info for the "systemtap" dependency.

dependency name.
fa1b139d17d04cb23bdfb1dd9c2abcdad4bdcd27 Bump python minimum supported version to 3.10 (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
All supported operating systems ship with python 3.10 (or later), so bumping the minimum should not cause any issues. A bump will allow new code to use new python features.
For reference:
* https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/python3
* https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/python3
* FreeBSD 13/14 ships with 3.11
* CentOS-like 8/9 ships with 3.11/3.12 (via `appstream`)
* OpenSuse Tumbleweed ships with all python versions, e.g. https://software.opensuse.org/package/python312-base
This is for Bitcoin Core 29.0 in 2025 (next year), not the soon upcoming 28.0 this fall.

Set minimum required glibc to 2.31.
The glibc 2.31 branch is still maintained:
https://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/release/2.31/master.
Remove the stack-protector check from test-security-check, as the test
no-longer fails, and given the control we have of the end, the actual
security-check test seems sufficient (this might also be applied to some
of the other checks).
Drops runtime support for Ubuntu Bionic 18.04 and RHEL-8 from the release binaries.
I need to try and patch around Qts buildsystem to keep #21778 moving
along (the issue being that even when you tell Qt to build using
Clang on Linux, it still calls out to GCC, breaking our ability to have
a macOS release build env that doesn't have a GCC toolchain installed,
and thus no ld binary).
Before trying to patch Qt any further, update to the latest LTS
release, and update the current patch set.

This requires a linux kernel of 3.17.0+, which seems entirely
reasonable. 3.17 went EOL in 2015, and the last supported 3.x kernel
(3.16) went EOL > 4 years ago, in 2020. For reference, the current
oldest maintained kernel is 4.14 (released 2017, EOL Jan 2024).
Support for `getrandom()` (and `getentropy()`) was added to
glibc 2.25, https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2017-02/msg00079.html,
and we already require 2.27+.
All that being said, I don't think you would encounter a current day
system, running with kernel headers older than 3.17 (released 2014) but
also having a glibc of 2.27+ (released 2018).

Pull request description:
Build against glibc 2.27 for all Linux builds (previously only used for RISC-V), and at the same time, increase our minimum required glibc to 2.27 (2018). This would drop support for Ubuntu Xenial (16.04) & Debian Stretch (9), from the produced release binaries. Compiling from source on those systems may be possible, assuming you can install a recent enough compiler/toolchain etc.

This matches the version of the kernel targeted when we build the glibcs
we use for release builds in Guix. Other versions / scenerios may
work, but for documentation purposes, this is the version that makes
sense to document, and something we can claim to officially support.
Qt 5.15.3 release is a patch release made on the top of Qt 5.15.2. As a patch
release, Qt 5.15.3 does not add any new functionality but provides bug fixes
and other improvements.

fab53b5fd45cf55a1d4d313e46ffce7396c9590e ci/doc: Set minimum required clang/libc++ version to 8.0 (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
This is not for 23.0, but for 24.0. It comes with the following benefits:
* Can use C++17 P0083R3 std::set::merge from libc++ 8.0
* No longer need to provide support for clang-7, which already fails to compile on some architectures (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/21294#issuecomment-998098483)
This should be fine, given that all supported operating systems ship with at least clang-10:
* CentOS 8: clang-12
* Stretch: https://packages.debian.org/stretch/clang-11
* Buster: https://packages.debian.org/buster-backports/clang-11
* Bionic: https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic-updates/clang-10

ACK fae20e6b50306f91c74037e915aa0ab75a0a6b3b - I think this is fine to do. I would be surprised if in another 6 months time someone was stuck on a system we supported, needing to compile Core, and only had access to Clang 7 or older. As mentioned in the PR description, all systems we currently support, already support multiple newer versions of Clang.

956f7322f60db7b8be551c9074b4c633e514079d build: Bump minimum Qt version to 5.11.3 (Hennadii Stepanov)
e22d10b936eb7563b2b6611332d9e4c73a2f59d4 ci: Switch from bionic to buster (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
The current minimum Qt version is 5.9.5 which has been set in bitcoin/bitcoin#21286.
Distro support:
- centos 7 -- unsupported since bitcoin/bitcoin#23511
- centos 8 -- [5.15.2](http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/qt5-qtbase-5.15.2-3.el8.x86_64.rpm)
- buster -- [5.11.3](https://packages.debian.org/buster/libqt5core5a)
- bullseye -- [5.15.2](https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/libqt5core5a)
- _bionic_ -- [5.9.5](https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libqt5core5a)
- focal -- [5.12.8](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/libqt5core5a)
As another Ubuntu LTS is coming soon, it seems unreasonable to stick to Qt 5.9 which support [ended](https://www.qt.io/blog/2017/06/07/renewed-qt-support-services) on 2020-05-31. Anyway, it's still possible to build Bitcoin Core GUI with depends on bionic system.
Bumping the minimum Qt version allows to make code safer and more reliable, e.g.:
- functor-parameter overload of [`QMetaObject::invokeMethod`](https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qmetaobject.html#invokeMethod-4)
- fixed https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-10907
An example of the patch using the functor-overload of `QMetaObject::invokeMethod`:
```diff
--- a/src/qt/walletmodel.cpp
+++ b/src/qt/walletmodel.cpp
@@ -349,7 +349,7 @@ bool WalletModel::changePassphrase(const SecureString &oldPass, const SecureStri
static void NotifyUnload(WalletModel* walletModel)
{
qDebug() << "NotifyUnload";
- bool invoked = QMetaObject::invokeMethod(walletModel, "unload");
+ bool invoked = QMetaObject::invokeMethod(walletModel, &WalletModel::unload);
assert(invoked);
}
```
It uses the same new syntax as signal-slot connection with compile-time check. Also see bitcoin/bitcoin#16348.
This PR is intended to be merged early [after](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22969) branching `23.x` off.

This primarily improves support for external signing, as it includes
multiple bugfixes for Boost Process. As well as various improvements to
the multi-index library.
