Pull request description:
This PR upgrades `expat` and `qt` in depends. The intention is to upgrade Qt in master to the latest point release of the current Qt LTS. This change can then be back-ported to the 0.17 branch (wether it makes it into 0.17.1 or not).
Then, sometime before the 0.18.0 release, we could move to using Qt 5.12+ in depends (which is also LTS). That discussion, as well as minimum supported Qt versions is in #13478.
### Qt 5.9.7
[Release announcement](https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/10/23/qt-5-9-7-released/)
[Changelog](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70888?filter=20149)
### Expat 2.2.6
* Avoid doing arithmetic with NULL pointers in XML_GetBuffer
* Fix 2.2.5 regression with suspend-resume while parsing a document like <root/>
Full changelog [here](https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_2_6/expat/Changes)
a46c8476e9 disables a bunch of qt features we aren't currently using. This speeds up the qt depends build slightly (also decreases the size of the built `qt-5.9.7` tar by about 2%). The disabling is somewhat unintuitive, hence `[wip]` until after a travis run and gitian build.

1e94a2bcbc5ff8ae61eed9f31317ea534649116d depends: Add --sysroot option to mac os native compile flags (Russell Yanofsky)
Pull request description:
Catalina SDK clang stopped automatically searching the SDK include paths when invoked without `--sysroot`:
- https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16367#issuecomment-594600985
- https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/45061
This hasn't been a problem for current native depends packages because are passing their own `--sysroot` values, and hasn't been a problem for current host packages because they use `darwin_` commands instead of `build_darwin_` commands. But the current `build_darwin_CC` and `build_darwin_CXX` commands are still unnecessarily fragile, and incompatible with new native depends packages added in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18677.
Cory Fields (theuni) suggested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16367#issuecomment-595393546 switching compiler from SDK clang to native clang (from $PATH) to avoid this problem. This is easy and makes a certain amount of sense for building native packages, as opposed to host packages. But Michael (fanquake) pointed out in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18677#discussion_r409934309 that it would be inconsistent to switch to non-SDK compilers while still using other SDK tools like `ranlib` and `install_name_tool`. So simplest, minimal fix seems to be just adding the missing `--sysroot` option.

69bfcac27a83440092bc6e61904ded910ed4baf4 gui: update Qt base translations for macOS release (fanquake)
Pull request description:
These haven't been updated since their addition, so this updates the list that
controls which qt base translations are bundled with the macOS binary, to all the
languages that are available with qt 5.9.8.
This could probably be improved in some way, however qt updates are infrequent,
and I didn't want to spend any more time looking at this. Also given that no-one
seems to have noticed and/or reported this it wouldn't seem high-priority.
Could be backported to 0.20.1.

Pull request description:
Related to #16354.
This PR adds additional configure flags to packages in depends to explicitly disable features we aren't using; similar to #16183. It also fixes passing `--without-tools` to `qrencode`.
I've added `--disable-drafts` to `zeromq`:
```bash
Build and install draft classes and methods [default=yes]
```
I'm not entirely sure how far we want to take this. i.e in the `zeromq` package we explicitly pass `--without-libsodium`, even though it's disabled by default.
Do we also want to explicitly pass all the other `--without` flags? :
```bash
--with-libgssapi_krb5 require libzmq build with libgssapi_krb5
[default=no]
--with-libsodium use libsodium instead of built-in tweetnacl
[default=no]
--with-pgm build libzmq with PGM extension. Requires pkg-config
[default=no]
--with-norm build libzmq with NORM protocol extension,
optionally specifying norm path [default=no]
--with-vmci build libzmq with VMCI transport [default=no]
```

* build: Add cmake as depends package (cmake.mk)
The bls-signatures library requires cmake 3.14
* depends: Update chia_bls to version 1.0.0 of dashpay/bls-signatures
* depends: Rename package chia_bls to bls-dash
* depends: Disable blspy/tests/benchmarks build for chia_bls
Note: Building with tests would require the following:
depends: Fix macOS build for versions < 10.12
Seems like older versions of macOS pretend to support c++17 std libs but do not have/have issues with uncaught_exceptions. "Catch", the testing framework used in the bls lib wants those by default but setting `DCATCH_CONFIG_NO_CPP17_UNCAUGHT_EXCEPTIONS` disables them which should be just fine to do in all cases here.

Pull request description:
Related to: #16150
We noticed that we could build QT without using XLib/libX11 as a library. XLib/libX11's headers are still used, and a minimal `configure.ac` has been added to eliminate overly-enthusiastic configure-time dependencies that aren't actually required to obtain the headers.
This also means that we eliminate XLib/libX11 as required shared libraries at runtime, which is desirable.
See commit messages for more details.

Reviewers: I am least sure about the minimal `configure.ac`, as I'm not too familiar with the autoconf syntax. Any improvements w/re robustness would be welcome.

Pull request description:
This PR makes `bitcoin_qt.m4` to use `pkg-config` for all hosts and removes non-pkg-config paths from it. This is a step towards the idea which was clear [stated](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8314#issue-76644643) by Cory Fields:
> I believe the consensus is to treat Windows like the others and require pkg-config across the board. We can drop all of the non-pkg-config paths, and simply AC_REQUIRE(PKG_PROG_PKG_CONFIG)
There are two unsolved problems with this PR. If depends is built with `DEBUG=1` the `configure` script fails to pickup Qt:
- for macOS host (similar to, but not the same as #16391)
- for Windows host (regression)
The fix is ~on its way~ submitted in #18298 (as a followup).
Also this PR picks some small improvements from #17820.
