This removes the following executables from the binary gitian release:
- test_bitcoin-qt[.exe]
- bench_bitcoin[.exe]
@jonasschnelli and me discussed this on IRC a few days ago - unlike the
normal `bitcoin_tests` which is useful to see if it is safe to run
bitcoin on a certain OS/environment combination, there is no good reason
to include these. Better to leave them out to reduce the download
size.
Sizes from the 0.12 release:
```
2.4M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/bench_bitcoin.exe
22M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/test_bitcoin-qt.exe
```
- fix parsing of BIND_NOW with older readelf
- add _IO_stdin_used to ignored exports
For details see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=634261#109
- add check-symbols and check-security make targets
These are not added to the default checks because some of them depend on
release-build configs.
- always link librt for glibc back-compat builds
glibc absorbed clock_gettime in 2.17. librt (its previous location) is safe to
link in anyway for back-compat.
Fixes#7420
- add security/symbol checks to gitian

These are changes I needed to get gitian building to work with Debian
8.2, which is the version we tell to use.
- Set up NAT, so that container can access network beyond host
- Remove explicit cgroup setup - these are mounted automatically now
- gitian: Need `ca-certificates` and `python` for LXC builds

The manpages are outdated and are very rarely updated when changes
to the code happen.

- Add new translations (finally, after a long time)
- update-translation script was not considering new translations - oops
- fixed this, also remove (nearly) empty translations
- Update translation process, it was still describing the old repository

9f251b7 devtools: add libraries for bitcoin-qt to symbol check (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Perform the following ELF security checks:
- PIE: Check for position independent executable (PIE), allowing for address space randomization
- NX: Check that no sections are writable and executable (including the stack)
- RELRO: Check for read-only relocations, binding at startup
- Canary: Check for use of stack canary
Also add a check to symbol-check.py that checks that only the subset of
allowed libraries is imported (to avoid incompatibilities).
