depends: Update libmultiprocess library to simplify cmake subtree build (Ryan Ofsky) Pull request description: This adds the [libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) library and code generator as a subtree in `src/ipc/libmultiprocess` and allows it to be built with the cmake `-DENABLE_IPC` option, which is disabled by default. This PR does not entirely remove the depends system [libmultiprocess package](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/depends/packages/native_libmultiprocess.mk) because the package is useful when cross compiling. (A cross-compiling cmake build cannot easily build and run a native code generation tool.) However, it does update the depends package to build from the new git subtree, instead of being downloaded separately from github, so the same sources are used to build both the runtime library and the code generator. This PR includes the following manual changes (not created automatically with `git subtree add`) which just update the build system and documentation: - [`d6244f85c509` depends: Update libmultiprocess library to simplify cmake subtree build](d6244f85c5

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 several hundred gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days 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) orbin/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.
