From what I can see the only platform this drops support for is CentOS
7. CentOS 7 reached the end of it's "full update" support at the end of
2020. It does receive maintenance updates until 2024, however I don't
think supporting glibc 2.17 until 2024 is realistic. Note that anyone
wanting to self-compile and target a glibc 2.17 runtime could build with
--disable-threadlocal.
glibc 2.18 was released in August 2013.

Pull request description:
1) Always test `plugins/subdir` before adding to search paths as the existence of each subdir is not guaranteed for all platforms:
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21376#discussion_r591613489
2) Drop redundant `-lxcb-static` flag as it has been already linked with `Qt5XcbQpa`:
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21363#discussion_r588881613
3) Cleanup `libxkbcommon_postprocess_cmds` as there is no `share/` directory in the staging one:

- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21376#issuecomment-794010534
4) Update `dependencies.md`

Pull request description:
Adds a `--without-bdb` option to `configure` which disables the compilation of the BDB stuff. Legacy wallets will not be created when BDB is not compiled. A legacy-sqlite wallet can be loaded, but we will not create them.
Based on #20156 to resolve the situation where both `--without-sqlite` and `--without-bdb` are provided. In that case, the wallet is disabled and `--disable-wallet` is effectively set.

55e05a82cdc347400e4e6f8df2b0aba690b835ea Added some factors that affect the dependency list (Martin Erlandsson)
Pull request description:
To simplify build instructions, the librsvg formula should be moved to the main `brew install ...` command, in my opinion.
It is not a big problem to install a single extra formula, and it will only be unused for some users.
An additional reason for this change is that I would like to add a comment (in a future PR) about making sure you have the latest version of all deps (in the case of preexisting formulae). That comment can be authored more clearly if this simplification PR is merged.
