fad95e8da6 doc: Split build linux dependencies (MarcoFalke)
0000009015 doc: Split depends installation instructions per arch (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  The current depends installation instructions fail on bionic with

  ```
  E: Unable to locate package g++-4.8-aarch64-linux-gnu
  E: Unable to locate package gcc-4.8-aarch64-linux-gnu
  E: Unable to locate package g++-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf
  E: Unable to locate package gcc-4.8-arm-linux-gnueabihf
  ```

  Also, they fail due to missing dependencies `make automake cmake pkg-config python3`

  Fix this by removing the explicit version and splitting them into common instructions and instructions per linux architecture.

bad068ad9f build: Build system changes to support only Qt5 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  Implements #8263.

  Qt4.x has been EOL since 2015, and at least Gentoo has, or is going to drop support for it. I wouldn't be surprised if other Linux distributions follow.

  This removes Qt4 detection from the build system, as well as removes all Qt4 fallbacks from the code. Turns out there's more than I expected: this is going to make maintenance of the GUI code, as well as adding new features significantly easier.

  (I know there's still some references left to qt4 in RPM and Debian build script, but I don't have the knowledge how to fix them)

1e4eec47be doc: split FreeBSD build instructions out of build-unix.md
docs: Linked to the 'Building on FreeBSD' section of the Unix guide where it lists BSD specific guides.

Created a FreeBSD build guide (doc/build-freebsd.md).

Added in warning about the version of 'gdb' installed by default.

Removed the FreeBSD build instructions now that they have their own guide (doc/build-freebsd.md).

Updated the sentence to refer to the BSD guides in the 'doc' directory for more specific BSD build instructions.

Minor grammatical fix.

Merge #11945: Improve BSD compatibility of contrib/install_db4.sh
2712742 doc: Update FreeBSD build instructions to use bdb4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
d95c83d contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
c0298b0 contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
b798f9b contrib: New clang patch for install_db4 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  This PR improves the BSD compatibility of the bdb4 installer script.

  See #11921, #11868.

  I've tested this on OpenBSD 6.2 (clang) and Ubuntu 16.04 (gcc).

  This needs testing on OSX at least, ~~and on gcc/Linux to make sure that applying the patch unconditionally doesn't negatively affect gcc~~.

  ~~NB: this is not yet sufficient to make `install_db4.sh` work on FreeBSD, as we need to use yet another `sha256` tool there. But it's a step in the right direction.~~

  ### contrib: New clang patch for install_db4

  Replace the clang patch with a new and improved version that also fixes the build issues with OpenBSD and FreeBSD's clang, and apply it unconditionally.

  Thanks to @fanquake for finding the patch.

  ### contrib: Make X=Y arguments work in install_db4

  Trailing X=Y arguments are supposed to be passed through unchanged to bdb's configure. This was not the case, at least with OpenBSD 6.2's shell.

  Fix this by not storing the arguments in a temporary variable but passing "$@" through directly.

  ### contrib: FreeBSD compatibility in install_db4.sh

  Unfortunately, FreeBSD uses yet another syntax for `sha256`.

  Support FreeBSD's syntax too. Using `uname` is a bit of a hack but it works and I found no way to distinguish the two.

af9103eb75 [build] Add a script for installing db4
Instead of maintaining not-easily-tested instructions for building BerkeleyDB
in doc/build-unix.md, package the installation as a script in contrib/. This
allows shared usage from a number of contexts, e.g. Docker.

Thanks to @jonasschnelli, @laanwj for feedback.

e91b96192 Create dependencies.md, and link dependencies file from README & build docs (flack)

Pull request description:

  As @fanquake mentioned in #8639, this should probably be a file in `doc/`, so I went ahead and pulled the issue text via the github API and dumped it into a file. No modifications made, except one spelling fix. This makes the info easier to find, and it will get a proper version history, too.
