Merge #16669: build: use new fork of osslsigncode for windows gitian signing
feb507577797518d0bee1774327d215e19d1ba34 build: use osslsigncode 2.0 in gitian (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  The original osslsigncode project, https://sourceforge.net/projects/osslsigncode, has been marked as abandonware:
  > This is now - and has been for a long while - abandonware. Feel free to create your own forks etc.".

  However, a fork has emerged, https://github.com/mtrojnar/osslsigncode, that has incorporated
  theuni's patches ([add the -pem option in extract-signature mode ](36715c1183) & [add the attach-signature command](3be7eb1676)) as well as updated the tool to work with OpenSSL 1.1 and other improvements.

  This commit switches the windows signer descriptor to use this new version of `osslsigncode`.

  I've tested using this new version of `osslsigncode` while doing a 0.18.1 gitian build, and it "seems" to work. However this needs a look over from Cory, to check if the tool is still compatible with his usage in the [`detached-sig-create.sh`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/contrib/windeploy/detached-sig-create.sh) script, as well as some review of the changes to `osslsigncode` itself. Hence WIP and chasing Concept ACKs / NACKs.

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.
