Pull request description:

  ## Additional Information

  Despite builders for BSD-based platforms being backported as early as [dash#5362](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/5362), they didn't work on account of using a `curl` flag, `--retry`, that was lopped off other builders in [dash#3003](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/3003) as a way to mitigate aberrant Travis CI-specific behaviour.

  As the variable `$(DOWNLOAD_RETRIES)` was removed as part of that mitigation, the introduction of builders that rely on this variable caused failures as the flag was accompanied by nothing. As our CI host isn't based on FreeBSD, this went unnoticed. When deciding between extending the existing patch and reverting it, reverting it proved to be more attractive on account of us no longer using Travis CI and the revert bringing us closer to upstream.

  Additionally, the `std::unary_function` patch that was introduced in [dash#5610](https://github.com/dashpay/dash/pull/5610) proves to be necessary on BSD-based platforms as well (had to be extended for and tested on GhostBSD, based on FreeBSD 13.2-STABLE, Clang 16). Instead of conditionally patching based on platform and compiler, a more reliable patch would be to downgrade the C++ version used to build Boost at the last version to have `std::unary_function`, which would be C++11, albeit deprecated ([source](https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/functional/unary_function)).

  Though it's likely this route wasn't taken originally due to compiler errors that happened despite downgrading to C++11. These errors were due to the compiler objecting to `std::unary_function` usage in Boost headers, despite the backport of [bitcoin#25436](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/25436), which should've solved this problem. The reason the errors were still persisting is because the necessary flag, `-DBOOST_NO_CXX98_FUNCTION_BASE`, was only applied if `--enable-suppress-external-warnings` was set. CI didn't catch this, as the flag is always set, to keep log lengths manageable. This has been rectified.

  All changes combined, one should be able to build non-Qt Dash binaries using `depends` though building the Qt client from `depends`  unfortunately remains a problem, even upstream ([source](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23955#issuecomment-1039300427), [source](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/23948#issue-1092284497)).

  ## Demo

What is Dash?

Dash is an experimental digital currency that enables instant, private payments to anyone, anywhere in the world. Dash uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority: managing transactions and issuing money are carried out collectively by the network. Dash Core is the name of the open source software which enables the use of this currency.

For more information read the original Dash whitepaper.

License

Dash Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is meant to be stable. Development is normally done in separate branches. Tags are created to indicate new official, stable release versions of Dash Core.

The develop branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but is not guaranteed to be completely stable.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Build / Compile from Source

The ./configure, make, and cmake steps, as well as build dependencies, are in ./doc/ as well:

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Dash Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
