223b1ba7d90509a47ea07af46f4b9c3b8efbc9f8 doc: Use CONFIG_SITE instead of --prefix (Hennadii Stepanov)

Pull request description:

  The current examples of `--prefix=...` option usage to point `configure` script to appropriate `depends` directory is not [standard](https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Directory-Variables.html). This causes some [confusion](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16691) and a bit of inconvenience.

  Consider a CentOS 7 32 bit system. Packages `libdb4-devel`, `libdb4-cxx-devel`, `miniupnpc-devel` and `zeromq-devel` are unavailable from repos. After recommended build with depends:
  ```
  cd depends
  make
  cd ..
  ./autogen.sh
  ./configure --prefix=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu
  make
  ```
  a user is unable to `make install` compiled binaries neither locally (to `~/.local`) nor system-wide (to `/usr/local`) as `--prefix` is set already.

  Meanwhile, the standard approach with using [`config.site`](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/config_002esite.html) files allows both possibilities:

  ```
  cd depends
  make
  cd ..
  ./autogen.sh
  CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure --prefix ~/.local
  make
  make install
  ```

  or

  ```
  CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site ./configure
  make
  sudo make install  # install to /usr/local
  ```

  Moreover, this approach is used in [Gitian descriptors](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/tree/master/contrib/gitian-descriptors) already.

**Dash Core's `configure` script by default will ignore the depends output.** In
order for it to pick up libraries, tools, and settings from the depends build,
you must point it at the appropriate `--prefix` directory generated by the
build. In the above example, a prefix dir named x86_64-w64-mingw32 will be
created. To use it for Dash:
you must set the `CONFIG_SITE` environment variable to point to a `config.site` settings file.
In the above example, a file named `depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site` will be
created. To use it during compilation:
./configure --prefix=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32
CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site ./configure
Common `host-platform-triplets` for cross compilation are:
The default install prefix when using `config.site` is `--prefix=depends/<host-platform-triplet>`,
so depends build outputs will be installed in that location.
Common `host-platform-triplet`s for cross compilation are:
- `i686-pc-linux-gnu` for Linux 32 bit
- `x86_64-pc-linux-gnu` for x86 Linux
