Merge #14849: depends: qt 5.9.7 
a46c8476e9 depends: disable unused qt features (fanquake)
73b46eeb7e depends: qt 5.9.7 (fanquake)
095e765975 depends: expat 2.2.6 (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  This PR upgrades `expat` and `qt` in depends. The intention is to upgrade Qt in master to the latest point release of the current Qt LTS. This change can then be back-ported to the 0.17 branch (wether it makes it into 0.17.1 or not).

  Then, sometime before the 0.18.0 release, we could move to using Qt 5.12+ in depends (which is also LTS). That discussion, as well as minimum supported Qt versions is in #13478.

  ### Qt 5.9.7
  [Release announcement](https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/10/23/qt-5-9-7-released/)
  [Changelog](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70888?filter=20149)

  ### Expat 2.2.6
  * Avoid doing arithmetic with NULL pointers in XML_GetBuffer
  * Fix 2.2.5 regression with suspend-resume while parsing a document like <root/>

  Full changelog [here](https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_2_6/expat/Changes)

  a46c8476e9 disables a bunch of qt features we aren't currently using. This speeds up the qt depends build slightly (also decreases the size of the built `qt-5.9.7` tar by about 2%). The disabling is somewhat unintuitive, hence `[wip]` until after a travis run and gitian build.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
