7d8a8cc Avoid launching as admin when NSIS installer ends. (JeremyRand)
Pull request description:
The Bitcoin Core NSIS script runs with elevated privileges. Unfortunately, this means that it launches Bitcoin Core itself with elevated privileges when the user chooses to launch Bitcoin Core at the end of the installation procedure. This PR works around the issue by having `explorer.exe` launch Bitcoin Core. Seems to be a similar approach to what http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in does, but without a plugin.
I've tested this with Sysinternals Process Explorer on Windows 10 32-bit. I wouldn't expect any differences in behavior on other Windows releases, but if anyone would like to test on other Windows releases, feel free.

Fixes#7990.

Putting the build date in the executable is a practice that has no place
in these days, now that deterministic building is increasingly common.
Continues #7732 which did this for the GUI.
The NSIS script tried to delete wxwidgets-based executables/locales. These files are ancient, and presumably no users have them anymore, so we can simplify the NSIS script by removing those lines.
Replaces the hardcoded string "bitcoin" with the autoconf variable PACKAGE_TARNAME; fixes#7265.
Places where I chose not to replace:
1. bitcoin.ico wasn't replaced because it doesn't seem to be relevant to the build system and its filename never affects the end user.
2. InstallDir wasn't replaced because the current text has an uppercase B, and I'm not sure of a good way to capitalize the result of PACKAGE_TARNAME.
3. A comment in the Main Installer section wasn't replaced because comments don't ever face the end user.
4. The registry value "URL:Bitcoin" wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
5. Startup shortcut wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
All other appearances of "bitcoin" were replaced with PACKAGE_TARNAME, except for the bin names, which were instead replaced with the new bin name autoconf variables.
Ubuntu 16.04 "xenial xerus" does not come with Python 2.x by default.
It is possible to install a python-2.7 package, but this has its own
problem: no `python` or `python2` symlink (see #7717).
This fixes the following scripts to work with python 3:
- `make check` (bctest,py, bitcoin-util-test.py)
- `make translate` (extract_strings_qt.py)
- `make symbols-check` (symbol-check.py)
- `make security-check` (security-check.py)
Explicitly call the python commands using $(PYTHON) instead
of relying on the interpreter line at the top of the scripts.
- Moved all seed related scripts to contrib/seeds for consistency
- Updated `makeseeds.py` to handle IPv6 and onions, fix regular
expression for recent Bitcoin Core versions
- Fixed a bug in `generate-seeds.py` with regard to IPv6 parsing
