Remove sed-based qt PIDLIST_ABSOLUTE workaround, replace by a patch that
works for both old (such as used by Travis and Ubuntu Precise) and new
mingw (Ubuntu Trusty).
This passes `-Wa,--noexecstack` to the assembler when building
platform-specific assembly files, to signal that a non-executable stack
can be used. This is the same approach as used by Debian
(see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=430583)
This version of miniupnpc fixes a buffer overflow in the XML (ugh)
parser during initial network discovery.

The commit fixing the vulnerability is:

Reported by timothy on IRC.
This should fix the spurious comparison tool failures.
See discussion here: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6305
The race fix was cherry-picked on top of the version we're currently using, so
it should be functionally identical otherwise.
This should be functionally identical to what's in place now. It was built from
be0eef7744
That commit is the same as this pruned commit in TheBlueMatt's repo:

Now we'll be able to trust the line numbers in the stack traces.
Boost assumes variadic templates are always available in GCC 4.4+, but
they aren't since we don't build with -std=c++11.
This applies the patch that fixed the issue in boost 1.57:

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
In some cases (Travis), sources and build caches may be moved around in-between
builds, and we can't necessarily trust that everything is still intact.
This introduces pre-build checks that verify against stashed checksums.
Note that this will cause all sources to be re-downloaded, since cached sources
weren't trustworthy before this.
