This flag was used when building 32-bit Windows executables, which we no-longer
do, and is not accepted by the linker for any of the hosts we currently build
for. i.e:
```bash
checking whether the linker accepts -Wl,--large-address-aware... no
```
--large-address-aware
If given, the appropriate bit in the "Characteristics" field of the COFF
header is set to indicate that this executable supports virtual addresses
greater than 2 gigabytes. This should be used in conjunction with the /3GB
or /USERVA=value megabytes switch in the "[operating systems]" section of
the BOOT .INI. Otherwise, this bit has no effect. [This option is specific
to PE targeted ports of the linker]
You can check that the appropriate bit in the COFF header of our current
Windows binaries is still be set using dumpbin. i.e:
```powershell
dumpbin /headers .\bitcoind.exe
FILE HEADER VALUES
<snip>
26 characteristics
Executable
Line numbers stripped
Application can handle large (>2GB) addresses

f7453dcc03 build: remove linking librt for backwards compatibility (fanquake)
Pull request description:
Now that we require glibc 2.17+, see #17538, we can remove linking librt
for backwards compatibility purposes. The `clock_*` functions from librt
were merged into glibc as part of the [2.17 release](https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-announce/2012/msg00001.html):
* The `clock_*` suite of functions (declared in <time.h>) is now available
directly in the main C library. Previously it was necessary to link with
-lrt to use these functions. This change has the effect that a
single-threaded program that uses a function such as `clock_gettime' (and
is not linked with -lrt) will no longer implicitly load the pthreads
library at runtime and so will not suffer the overheads associated with
multi-thread support in other code such as the C++ runtime library.
Note that `librt` is already unused by the RISC-V and AARCH64 binaries as their librts don't export any `clock_*` functions. As an example, you can find a diff of the arm32 vs arm64 librt symbols [here](https://gist.github.com/fanquake/b08cb1f0d14df3133395d7796ebf030c).

c78b123982 build: add -bind_at_load to hardened LDFLAGS (fanquake)
Pull request description:
This performs the same function as `-Wl,-z,now`, except for ld on macOS.
You can check the binaries using `otool -l`, and looking for the `LC_DYLD_INFO_ONLY` section; `lazy_bind_off` and `lazy_bind_size` should both be 0.
This seems to be the case with our current release binaries. However we can make the check, and applying the flag explicit in configure.
man ld:
```bash
-bind_at_load
Sets a bit in the mach header of the resulting binary which tells dyld
to bind all symbols when the binary is loaded, rather than lazily.

Pull request description:
This introduces a new `randomenv` module that queries varies non-cryptographic (and non-RNG) sources of entropy available on the system; things like user IDs, system configuration, time, statistics, CPUID data.
The idea is that these provide a fallback in scenarios where system entropy is somehow broken (note that if system entropy *fails* we will abort regardless; this is only meant to function as a last resort against undetected failure). It includes some data sources OpenSSL currently uses, and more.
The separation between random and randomenv is a bit arbitrary, but I felt that all this "non-essential" functionality deserved to be separated from the core random module.

44f7a8d7a7 Disable _FORTIFY_SOURCE when enable-debug (Andrew Chow)
Pull request description:
The `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` macro is enabled by default when hardening is enabled, but it requires optimization in order to be used. Since we disable all optimization with `--enable-debug`, this macro doesn't actually do anything and instead just causes a lot of warnings to be printed. This PR explicitly disables `_FORTIFY_SOURCE` so that these useless warnings aren't printed.

Since enable-debug disables optimization entirely, _FORTIFY_SOURCE
does nothing as it requires some kind of optimization enabled. It
instead produces a bunch of useless warnings. So explicitly disable
it when enable-debug so that those warnings are not produced.
Since libtool 1.5.2, on Linux libtool no longer sets RPATH for any
directories in the dynamic linker search path, so there is no longer an
issue.

Fixes: #14830
This is more of a "do something dumb and have people correct you" kind of PR. The end goal is to have a configure flag that will allow for debugging without annoying "optimized out" messages, for developer experiences' sake. This is the minimal diff, but people have suggested `--enable-debug-slow` in the past.
