bd3f5a90ec build: remove mingw linker workaround from win gitian descriptor (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This workaround was added as part of the switch to gitian building using Ubuntu 14.04 (#6900).
However, it should no longer be required, as we have switched to Bionic (#13171) and that
has a far newer version of binutils.

Pull request description:
It would seem that our `gitian-win.yml` has not been keeping up with `gitian-linux.yml`, this PR:
1. Minimizes the diff size between `gitian-{win,linux}.yml`
2. Eliminates the `rename` dependency

Linux:
The README was originally added in 8550f1fb2, but included the README
under the docs directory, which has a bunch of internal links that won't
make sense in a release tarball. In this patch, we include the root
level README instead, which makes more sense.
Windows:
.md files are inconvenient to open on windows and the line endings
differ, so we use README_windows.txt instead.
Debug splitting was first introduced in 7e7eb2724, then gitian-linux.yml
changed to using split-debug.sh in 9d2536208. Here we change
gitian-win.yml to use split-debug.sh as well.

However, it should no longer be required, as we have switched to Bionic (#13171), and that

32da92bdf6 gitian: Improve error handling (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Improve error handling in gitian builds:
- Set fail-on-error and pipefail flag, this causes a command to fail when either of the pipe stages fails, not only when the last of the stages fails, so this improves error detection.
- Also use `xargs` instead of `find -exec`, because `find` will not propagate errors in the executed command, but `xargs` will.
This will avoid some issues like #15541 where non-determinism is silently introduced due to errors caused by environment conditions (such as lack of disk space in that case).

Release version strings were broken in Gitian by 7522. This is a minimal fix
suitable for 0.15.
After this, we should fix up version handling for good so that gitian packages
the correct string in the release tarball, so that git is not required to get
the tag name.

Also change the mac filename to match
The procedure remains the same, but now there's a nifty script to automate
the signing process.
Future steps:
- Build osslsigncode in the gitian-win descriptor so that the signer itself is
deterministic.
- Verify in the gitian-win-signer descriptor that the expected cert chain was
used.
The consistency is helpful for gauging Gitian build progress. Right now it's necessary to remember which platform builds in which order, which can be confusing if you're attempting to get a quick idea of how far along your builds are.
The -debug tarballs/zips contain detached debugging symbols. To use them, place
in the same dir as the target binary, and invoke gdb as usual.
Also, because the debug symbols add a substantial space requirement, the build
dirs are now deleted when they're no longer needed.
This removes the following executables from the binary gitian release:
- test_bitcoin-qt[.exe]
- bench_bitcoin[.exe]
@jonasschnelli and me discussed this on IRC a few days ago - unlike the
normal `bitcoin_tests` which is useful to see if it is safe to run
bitcoin on a certain OS/environment combination, there is no good reason
to include these. Better to leave them out to reduce the download
size.
Sizes from the 0.12 release:
```
2.4M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/bench_bitcoin.exe
22M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/test_bitcoin-qt.exe
```
