e037c4fe0914d8fa9149ce7532c0d70f738e79e9 depends: always configure with --with-pic (fanquake)
Pull request description:
We currently do this sporadically. Not only amongst packages, but across OS's, i.e sometimes it's done for BSDs/Android, and sometimes not.
Configure with `--with-pic` globally instead. I think this generally makes more sense, and should not have any downsides.

be27161ee4bb7cb63346f1e79fc36ce33103a635 Clarify need to specify --prefix with depends (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
There seems to be some confusion about exactly how to use depends, when to pass a prefix to `./configure` etc (see #16367, #16654).
I've cherry-picked two of russ's commits out of #16367, as they are clear stand-alone improvements and we don't have to wait for #16367 to improve the depends documentation.

Pull request description:
```
We use pkg-config where we can, which generally replaces libtool at a
higher level and does not have the same downsides as libtool. These
archives sit in our depends tree with no purpose and pollute the final
bitcoin build with massive overlinking.
```
See [here](https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Quality_Assurance/Handling_Libtool_Archives) for an explanation of the various problems libtool archives can cause.
Unrelated in every way except in spirit: `-D__LIBTOOL_IS_A_FOOL__`!!

6aab7649d30b19d136a27f1287fd2c8b00fb460c doc: Fix whitespace errs in .md files, bitcoin.conf, Info.plist.in, and find_bdb48.m4 (Jon Layton)
Pull request description:
Although there is an existing `test/lint/lint-whitespace.sh` linter, it only prevents new errors from being introduced. This commit removes all existing whitespace errors from Core markdown files (skips `src/crypto/ctaes/`, `leveldb/`, and `doc/release-notes/`), `bitcoin.conf`, and `Info.plist.in`.
Further formatting could be done on the markdown documents, but seeing as there several coexisting styles that break a few `markdownlint` rules, a first step would be to define and add a linter to Travis. For now, the small fix is made.

Documentation more readable when viewed on Github.
Some extra changes by @laanwj:
- Make README.usage the default README. This is more convenient from a
user perspective. Link to other documentation in this default README
- Add list of popular targets for cross compilation, change default to
Win64 instead of Win32
