Add riscv64 to outputs list in release-process.md
The riscv64 binary is created by the Gitian scripts and distributed by the
Bitcoin Core website, so it should be listed in the release process docs.

[docs] Update release-process.md
- Create a release notes draft wiki for collaborative editing at https://github.com/bitcoin-core/bitcoin-devwiki/wiki as seen for releases 0.17.0 and 0.18.0.

- As per http://www.erisian.com.au/bitcoin-core-dev/log-2019-03-28.html#l-342, for the period during which the notes are being edited on the wiki, the version on the branch should be wiped and replaced with a link to the wiki which should be used for all announcements until final.

- Before final, remove the "Needs release note" label from relevant PRs/issues and merge the release notes from the wiki into the branch.

- Create a pinned meta-issue dedicated to testing the release candidate and communicate it in release announcements where useful. The former is done in practice (e.g. #15555, #14902) and the latter addresses the discussion here: https://x0f.org/web/statuses/101753569204220416.

- Adapt and merge the updates in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15692.

- Update the version numbers in all the examples.

- Reorganise the headers in the Branch Updates section.

Merge #13216: [Qt] implements concept for different disk sizes on intro
9d0e52834 implements different disk sizes for different networks on intro (marcoagner)

Pull request description:

  Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/13213.
  Mostly, I layed out the concept to open the PR for refinement and getting feedback if the approach is okay. Changes are expected.

  Two points:
  - The values for both new consts `TESTNET_BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` and `TESTNET_CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` is certainly not optimal; I just checked the size of my testnet3 related dirs and set them to little bit higher values. Which values should be used?
  - Should we do something like this to regtest? Or these "niceties" do not matter when on regtest?

  Thanks!

Give hint about gitian not able to download
Gitian fails to perform downloads right now on my set up. This can be circumvented by first checking out the tag being built and then doing the depends download step before running `gbuild`.

Merge #11909: contrib: Replace developer keys with list of pgp fingerprints
fabb72b contrib: Remove xpired 522739F6 key (MarcoFalke)
faeab66 contrib: Replace developer keys with list of pgp fingerprints (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  Having to host a copy of the keys in this repo was a common source of discussion and distraction, caused by problems such as:

  * Outdated keys. Unclear whether and when to replace by fresh copies.
  * Unclear when to add a key of a new developer or Gitian builder.

  The problems are solved by
  * Having no keys but only the fingerprints
  * Adding a rule of thumb, when to add a new key

  <strike>Moving the keys to a different repo solves none of these issues, but since the keys are not bound to releases or git branches of Bitcoin Core, they should live somewhere else.

  Obviously, all keys are hosted and distributed on key servers, but were added to the repo solely for convenience and redundancy.

  Moving the mirror of those keys to a different repo makes it less distracting to update them -- let's say -- prior to every major release.

  I updated our `doc/release-process.md` to reflect the new location.

  DEPENDS_ON https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gitian.sigs/pull/621

e440ac7ef3 Introduce assumevalid setting to skip presumed valid scripts.
This disentangles the script validation skipping from checkpoints.

A new option is introduced "assumevalid" which specifies a block whos
 ancestors we assume all have valid scriptsigs and so we do not check
 them when they are also burried under the best header by two weeks
 worth of work.

Unlike checkpoints this has no influence on consensus unless you set
 it to a block with an invalid history.  Because of this it can be
 easily be updated without risk of influencing the network consensus.

This results in a massive IBD speedup.

This approach was independently recommended by Peter Todd and Luke-Jr
 since POW based signature skipping (see PR#9180) does not have the
 verifiable properties of a specific hash and may create bad incentives.

The downside is that, like checkpoints, the defaults bitrot and older
 releases will sync slower.  On the plus side users can provide their
 own value here, and if they set it to something crazy all that will
 happen is more time will be spend validating signatures.

Checkblocks and checklevel are also moved to the hidden debug options:
 Especially now that checkblocks has a low default there is little need
 to change these settings, and users frequently misunderstand them as
 influencing security or IBD speed.  By hiding them we offset the
 space added by this new option.

fd46136dfa IBD check uses minimumchain work instead of checkpoints.
This introduces a 'minimum chain work' chainparam which is intended
 to be the known amount of work in the chain for the network at the
 time of software release.  If you don't have this much work, you're
 not yet caught up.

This is used instead of the count of blocks test from checkpoints.

This criteria is trivial to keep updated as there is no element of
subjectivity, trust, or position dependence to it. It is also a more
reliable metric of sync status than a block count.
