Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#23511 : release: require glibc 2.18+

5b93e65f6abfd174a56cf50c952ca5d5c3833859 build: remove D__STDC_FORMAT_MACROS from CPPFLAGS (fanquake)
dbfca4a815d2dbef69f3b634c24b875bc1d22afc build: require glibc 2.18+ for release builds (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  This increases our runtime glibc requirement from 2.17 to 2.18. From what I can see the only platform this drops release support for is CentOS 7, which reached the end of it's "full update" support at the [end of 2020](https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product). It does receive maintenance updates until 2024, however I don't think supporting glibc 2.17 until 2024 is realistic.

  It was mentioned in #22405 that our 2.17 requirement could be a bit excessive, and I tend to agree, however without a good reason to require an even newer version, I think a move from 2.17 -> 2.18 is sufficient for now. That means we get a glibc with "proper" support for `thread_local` (see below), as well as avoid having to patch dependencies to retain glibc compatibility (see #23489).

  Note that anyone wanting to self-compile and target a glibc 2.17 runtime could currently build with `--disable-threadlocal`. However we wouldn't make any guarantees on how long that workaround might exist for.

  glibc 2.18 was released in August 2013: https://sourceware.org/legacy-ml/libc-alpha/2013-08/msg00160.html.
  > Add support for calling C++11 thread_local object destructors on thread
    and program exit.  This needs compiler support for offloading C++11
    destructor calls to glibc.

  The last time we increased our runtime glibc requirement for release builds was in #17538 (0.20 release), where we moved from a 2.11 requirement to 2.17.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.

Need Help?

See the documentation at the Bitcoin Wiki for help and more information.
Ask for help on Bitcoin StackExchange.
Ask for help on #bitcoin on Libera Chat. If you don't have an IRC client, you can use web.libera.chat.
Ask for help on the BitcoinTalk forums, in the Technical Support board.

Building

The following are developer notes on how to build Bitcoin Core on your native platform. They are not complete guides, but include notes on the necessary libraries, compile flags, etc.

Development

The Bitcoin repo's root README contains relevant information on the development process and automated testing.
