This change moves binaries that are not typically invoked directly by users from the `bin/` directory to the `libexec/` directory in CMake installs and binary releases. The goal is to simplify the contents of `bin/` for end users while still making all binaries available when needed. After this change, the binaries remaining in `bin/` are: - bitcoin - bitcoin-cli - bitcoind - bitcoin-qt - bitcoin-tx - bitcoin-util - bitcoin-wallet And the binaries that are moved to `libexec/` are: - bench_bitcoin - bitcoin-chainstate(*) - bitcoin-gui(***) - bitcoin-node(***) - test_bitcoin(**) - test_bitcoin-qt (*) bitcoin-chainstate was previously missing an install rule and was actually not installed even when it was enabled. (**) test_bitcoin is the only libexec/ binary that is currently included in bitcoin binary releases. The others are only installed when building from source with relevant cmake options enabled. (***) bitcoin-node and bitcoin-gui are not currently built by default or included in binary releases but both of these changes are planned and implemented in #31802

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.
Build Tools and Keys
Packaging

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.
