2d1b1c7daeeada3f737e62ceb2db7484cde5ff4e build: remove --enable-lto (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This has outlived its usefulness, doesn't gel well with newer compilers & `-flto` related options, i.e thin vs full, or `=auto`, and having `-flto` as the only option means that sometimes this just needs to be worked around, i.e in oss-fuzz:
https://github.com/google/oss-fuzz/blob/master/projects/bitcoin-core/build.sh.
While it was convenient when `-flto` was newer, support for `-flto` is now in all compilers we use, and there's also no-longer any real need for us to treat `-flto` different to any other optimization option.
Remove it, to remove build complexity, and so there's no need to port a similar option to CMake.
Note that the LTO option remains in depends, because we still a way to build packages that have LTO specific patches/options.

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.

If we decide to merge this, I'll follow up downstream in oss-fuzz first,
to make sure we don't break the build.
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.
2f356a0ca8b080c860c8924d201b98f1f9fa0ad5 scripted-diff: Drop Darwin version for better maintainability (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
After this PR, any macOS tools version bumping in the future will touch fewer files in the repo.
Pointing a Darwin version for the `--host` system does not matter for the following reasons:
- in terms of the resulted binaries, we should only care about the minimum supported macOS version which is a separated parameter in our build system.
- in terms of the build system itself, the usage of the `$(host)` variable is self-consistent enough. Btw `$(host_os)` value already has the version dropped:
```
$ make -C depends --no-print-directory print-host_os HOST=x86_64-apple-darwin19
host_os=darwin
```

The usage of pragmas within the macOS SDK requires LLVM Clang 8. This is
the version as our prebuilt Clang, however the minimum is worth noting here
as they may diverge and/or expert users might expect they could use an
earlier version.
If you compile using Clang 7 you'll see output like:
