2ecaf214331b506ebfac4f4922241744357d652b gitian: remove execstack workaround for ricv64 & powerpc64le (fanquake)
5baff2b31840bdbc465f55b875aa6e9480288215 build: use focal in gitian descriptors (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This PR changes the gitian descriptors to use Ubuntu Focal (20.04), over Bionic (18.04), moving from GCC 7.5 to GCC 8.4 for native Linux builds, mingw-w64 GCC 7.3 to mingw-w64 GCC 9.3 for Windows builds, while continuing to use GCC 8.4 for all cross builds and Clang 8.0.0 for macOS builds.
It also drops the `-Wl,-z,noexecstack` workaround we've been using for the riscv64 and powerpc64le hosts, as it's no-longer needed. One new package is installed in the osx build, `libtinfo5`, as libtinfo5.so is required by our downloaded Clang 8.
A bump to Focal will at least be required if we want to update to a newer Qt (5.15, #19716) for 22.0, as we need a newer version of [`g++-mingw-w64`](https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal/g++-mingw-w64-x86-64) and the [`mingw-w64`](https://mingw-w64.org/doku.php) headers. This can still be done while continuing to use GCC 8.4 for Linux builds (see below), however the newer `g++-mingw-w64` will be based off of GCC 9.3.
**Some considerations**
GCC 9 is affected by #20005 "memcmp with constants that contain zero bytes are broken in GCC", and the newer `g++-mingw-w64` will be based off of GCC 9.3.
The `--no-*` variants of the Windows linker flags (i.e `--no-dynamicbase`) we use to [test our `security-check.py` script](16b784d953/contrib/devtools/test-security-check.py (L53)) are not patched into the mingw binutils in Focal (they have been re-added in Groovy (20.10)). This isn't currently an issue, however, we might add a call to `test-security-check` for Guix (#20980), and if we wanted to do the same for gitian, it would not work. Note how it's quite "easy" for us to apply the `--no-*` variant patch to our Guix build; it would be quite a bit harder to do in Gitian.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree
What is Bitcoin?
Bitcoin is an experimental digital currency that enables instant payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin Core is the name of open source software which enables the use of this currency.
For more information, as well as an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/, or read the original whitepaper.
License
Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.
Development Process
The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be
completely stable. Tags are created
regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.
The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.
The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.
Testing
Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.
Automated Testing
Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to
submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run
(assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running
and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.
There are also regression and integration tests, written
in Python, that are run automatically on the build server.
These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py
The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.
Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing
Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.
Translations
Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.
Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.
Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
Translators should also subscribe to the mailing list.
