b7bf037121 doc: Mention ARM executables in release process
Mention ARM executables in the release process documentation
(these were introduced in #8188).
As well as that Linux tarballs have changed name to contain an
architecture tuple, instead of `linux32`/`linux64`.
Also mention that `-debug` files should not be uploaded (these were
introduced in #8167).

c6325cf2f9 Minor improvements to the release process
Instruct people to "git fetch" so that if this is their 2nd+ gitian build they will have a fresh bitcoin repo.
Instruct people to add all the known pgp keys to their keyring so that gverify will print more useful info.

Clarifying offline build process using gbuild --url and noting it is not
done automatically.

At some point along the line, fully offline builds were no longer happening
when strictly following the release-process.md instructions.

We should ensure that users who might want to torify or build offline need
to take extra steps to remain offline.

Also, corrections to build process: including gverify examples for new builders.

6e849b8309 Ideal release process for Windows detached signing
This is an ideal version of what the release process should look like,
making it more consistent with the OS X process. Some of the changes
described here would need to be made in the descriptors, which is somewhat
beyond what I would feel comfortable doing, not really understanding the signature process in depth.

d08cfc2bd7 gitian: add a gitian-win-signer descriptor
This is exactly like the current OSX signing process.

osslsigncode has been patched to detach and re-attach Windows signatures.
The changes can be seen here: https://github.com/theuni/osslsigncode/commits/attach-signature

There's a pull-request open upstream for the changes:
https://sourceforge.net/p/osslsigncode/osslsigncode/merge-requests/3/

This work has been back-ported to the stable 1.7.1 release of osslsigncode, so
that a smaller patch can be reviewed.

c110575a92 gitian: Use the new bitcoin-detached-sigs git repo for OSX signatures
Rather than fetching a signature.tar.gz from somewhere on the net, instruct
Gitian to use a signature from a tag in the bitcoin-detached-sigs repository
which corresponds to the tag of the release being built.

This changes detached-sig-apply.sh to take a dirname rather than a tarball as
an argument, though detached-sig-create.sh still outputs a tarball for
convenience.

Clean up release-process.md after OS X gitian changes
This is PR #4271, but with the changes to the descriptors, both the names of the
files and the names of the intermediate build artifact archives, removed.
This also closes #3775 if it goes in, because it covers the changes in
that PR.

6e7c4d17d8 gitian: upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.1h
Upgrade for https://www.openssl.org/news/secadv_20140605.txt

Just in case - there is no vulnerability that affects ecdsa signing or
verification.

The MITM attack vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) may have some effect on
our usage of SSL/TLS.

As long as payment requests are signed (which is the common case), usage
of the payment protocol should also not be affected.

The TLS usage in RPC may be at risk for MITM attacks. If you have
`-rpcssl` enabled, be sure to update OpenSSL as soon as possible.

386e732a5f gitian: make linux qt intermediate deterministic

3ab1664594 gitian: build against Qt 4.6
Should make it possible to run the resulting GUI executable on
Linux distributions that use Qt 4.6, such as Debian Wheezy and Tails.

Builds a mini-SDK for building against Qt 4.6. This includes the headers
as well as host utilities such as `lrelease`, `qrc` and `moc`.

This speeds up the gitian build a bit - libqt4-dev pulled in a lot of packages,
and is no longer needed as this provides a replacement of our own.

Note: This does not replace the Qt build with at static library. After this
commit we still build dynamically against the system Qt library. The only
difference is that compatibility with an older version is maintained. This
loses minor GUI functionality (such as setPlaceholderText) but still
allows integration into the window management of the host OS, unlike
when statically linking.

3d20cd5f61 VERSION obtained from source instead of the previous git tag.
Drawback: The version string is no longer a valid git identifier.
          For this reason the 'g' short hash prefix has been removed.

Exception: When building directly from a tag this behaves exactly like the previous behavior.
           This allows formatting release versions with precision     i.e. v0.9.2
           This also allows arbitrary topicbranch names               i.e. v0.9.1-glibc-compat
