will 1fe87c2505 guix: cache GUI depends separately
The GUI manifest has a distinct Guix profile and consequently produces
different depends build IDs. Previously this mean that the gui build
would invalidate the build cache for the non-guix build.

Move guix builds under a GUIX/ root, and further BUILD/ and GUI/ trees,
so that local developer builds, GUI and non GUI guix builds can all
co-exist together.

There will end up being more copies of build depends packages, (local
builds, and two guix variants), but these all use different toolchains
and toolsets so this is desirable.

Repository Tools

Developer tools

Specific tools for developers working on this repository. Additional tools, including the github-merge.py script, are available in the maintainer-tools repository.

Verify-Commits

Tool to verify that every merge commit was signed by a developer using the github-merge.py script.

Linearize

Construct a linear, no-fork, best version of the blockchain.

Qos

A Linux bash script that will set up traffic control (tc) to limit the outgoing bandwidth for connections to the Bitcoin network. This means one can have an always-on bitcoind instance running, and another local bitcoind/bitcoin-qt instance which connects to this node and receives blocks from it.

Seeds

Utility to generate the pnSeed[] array that is compiled into the client.

ASMap

Utilities to analyze and process asmap files.

Build Tools and Keys

Packaging

The Debian subfolder contains the copyright file.

All other packaging related files can be found in the bitcoin-core/packaging repository.

MacDeploy

Scripts and notes for Mac builds.

Test and Verify Tools

TestGen

Utilities to generate test vectors for the data-driven Bitcoin tests.

Verify-Binaries

This script attempts to download and verify the signature file SHA256SUMS.asc from bitcoin.org.

Command Line Tools

Completions

Shell completions for bash and fish.

UTXO Set Tools

UTXO-to-SQLite

This script converts a compact-serialized UTXO set (as generated by Bitcoin Core with dumptxoutset) to a SQLite3 database. For more details like e.g. the created table name and schema, refer to the module docstring on top of the script, which is also contained in the command's --help output.
