Wladimir J. van der Laan 4459e60acc Merge #16352: build: prune dbus from depends
e8fabd9253400a7c3fe45b34bc572eb00ff5522d build: prune dbus from depends (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  Since #8210 (59d063d076), we've been passing `-dbus-runtime` when configuring Qt.

  ```
  qtbase-opensource-src-5.9.7 $ ./configure -h | grep -i dbus
    -no-dbus ............. Do not build the Qt D-Bus module
    -dbus-linked ......... Build Qt D-Bus and link to libdbus-1 [auto]
    -dbus-runtime ........ Build Qt D-Bus and dynamically load libdbus-1 [no]
  ```

  This means we don't actually seem to be using the `D-Bus` we build in depends. This was pointed out by theuni at the time, [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7993#issuecomment-223114395) and [here](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8210#issuecomment-226930545), but was never followed up. dongcarl also bought it up as part of #16150.

  I've tested building and running `bitcoin-qt` using depends on Debian. Needs further testing.

Controlling dependencies
------------------------
Some dependencies are not needed in all configurations. The following are some factors that affect the dependency list.
#### Options passed to `./configure`
* MiniUPnPc is not needed with `--without-miniupnpc`.
* Berkeley DB is not needed with `--disable-wallet` or `--without-bdb`.
* SQLite is not needed with `--disable-wallet` or `--without-sqlite`.
* libnatpmp is not needed with `--without-natpmp`.
* Qt is not needed with `--without-gui`.
* If the qrencode dependency is absent, QR support won't be added. To force an error when that happens, pass `--with-qrencode`.
* ZeroMQ is needed only with the `--with-zmq` option.
#### Other
* librsvg is only needed if you need to run `make deploy` on (cross-compilation to) macOS.
* Not-Qt-bundled zlib is required to build the [DMG tool](../contrib/macdeploy/README.md#deterministic-macos-dmg-notes) from the libdmg-hfsplus project.
