Merge #18677: Multiprocess build support
e2bab2aa162ae38b2bf8195b577c982402fbee9d multiprocess: add multiprocess travis configuration (Russell Yanofsky)
603fd6a2e708c04ef6c9880f89d0a4cbaa6fc7c5 depends: add MULTIPROCESS depends option (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This PR is part of the [process separation project](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/projects/10).

  ---

  This PR consists of build changes only. It adds an `--enable-multiprocess` autoconf option (off by default and marked experimental), that builds new `bitcoin-node` and `bitcoin-gui` binaries. These currently function the same as existing `bitcoind` and `bitcoin-qt` binaries, but are extended in #10102 with IPC features to execute node, wallet, and gui functions in separate processes.

  In addition to adding the `--enable-multiprocess` config flag, it also adds a depends package and autoconf rules to build with the [libmultiprocess](https://github.com/chaincodelabs/libmultiprocess) library, and it adds new travis configuration to exercise the build code and run functional tests with the new binaries.

  The changes in this PR were originally part of #10102 but were moved into #16367 to be able to develop and review the multiprocess build changes independently of the code changes. #16367 was briefly merged and then reverted in #18588. Only change since #16367 has been dropping the `native_boost.mk` depends package which was pointed out to be no longer necessary in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/16367#issuecomment-596484337 and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/18588#pullrequestreview-391765649

ci scripts

This directory contains scripts for each build step in each build stage.

Currently three stages lint, extended_lint and test are defined. Each stage has its own lifecycle, similar to the Travis CI lifecycle. Every script in here is named and numbered according to which stage and lifecycle step it belongs to.

Running a stage locally

Be aware that the tests will be built and run in-place, so please run at your own risk. If the repository is not a fresh git clone, you might have to clean files from previous builds or test runs first.

The ci needs to perform various sysadmin tasks such as installing packages or writing to the user's home directory. While most of the actions are done inside a docker container, this is not possible for all. Thus, cache directories, such as the depends cache, previous release binaries, or ccache, are mounted as read-write into the docker container. While it should be fine to run the ci system locally on you development box, the ci scripts can generally be assumed to have received less review and testing compared to other parts of the codebase. If you want to keep the work tree clean, you might want to run the ci system in a virtual machine with a Linux operating system of your choice.

To allow for a wide range of tested environments, but also ensure reproducibility to some extent, the test stage requires docker to be installed. To install all requirements on Ubuntu, run

sudo apt install docker.io bash

To run the default test stage,

./ci/test_run_all.sh

To run the test stage with a specific configuration,

FILE_ENV="./ci/test/00_setup_env_arm.sh" ./ci/test_run_all.sh
