Until secp256k1 is used for verification there is no reason for Bitcoin
Core's secp256k1 to link against gmp, even if available. Pass a flag to
configure to override the bignum implementation.
This fixes a crash at runtime on ppc64 reported by @gmaxwell.
- Detect endian instead of stopping configure on big-endian
- Add `byteswap.h` and `endian.h` header for compatibility with
Windows and other operating systems that don't come with them
- Update `crypto/common.h` functions to use compat
endian header
This was added a while ago for testing purposes, but was never intended to be
used. Remove it until upstream libsecp256k1 decides that verification is
stable/ready.
Backwards-compatibility for libstdc++ is not limited to straightforward abi
changes. Symbol visibility also needs to be taken into consideration, and
that really can't be addressed simply.
Instead, just static-link libstdc++ for backwards-compat.
This is really a packager's option. While it's helpful to encourage devs to
test this option for daily builds, it's not reliable in several real-world
use-cases. Some older libstdc++ runtimes (freebsd 9, debian wheezy, for
example) fail to properly catch exceptions due to mismatched type_info.

fe925e2 Use EXTRA_LIBRARIES instead of noinst_LIBRARIES so we can avoid building unused code (Cory Fields)
Similar to the INCLUDES changes in 6b099402b4, split out LIBS into individual
entries for more fine-grained control.
Also add MINIUPNPC_LIBS which was missing before, and hook it up to
executables.
Qt5 is bottled, so configure won't find it without some help. Use
brew to find out its prefix.
Also, qt5 added the host_bins variable to pkg-config, use it.
Windows needed a few fixups to get the tests running:
1. bitcoin-tx needs a file extension in Windows. Take this opportunity to
add an env file, which pulls variables out of our build config. This can
be extended as needed, for now it's very simple.
2. After #1, split the args out of the exec key in the test data.
3. Correct the line-endings from windows stdout

9f7f504 build: add -DMINIUPNP_STATICLIB for new version (Cory Fields)
It's only confusing people into thinking that they should mess with
boost versions, which should not be necessary to get bitcoind to work.
If there is a bug in the build system with autodetecting boost it needs
to be solved not worked around.
