Fixes#29654 (as a side-effect)
Removing dependencies is a general goal of the project and the xz backdoor has been an additional wake up call recently. Libevent shows many of the same symptoms, few maintainers and slow releases. While libevent can not be removed completely over night we should start removing it’s usage where it's possible, ideally with the end goal to removing it completely.
This is a pretty easy win in that direction. The [`evhttp_uridecode` function from libevent](e0a4574ba2/http.c (L3542)) we were using in `urlDecode` could be easily emulated in fewer LOC. This also ports the [applicable test vectors over from libevent](https://github.com/libevent/libevent/blob/master/test/regress_http.c#L3430).

2d1819455c crypto: chacha20: always use our fallback timingsafe_bcmp rather than libc's (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
Looking at libc sources, apple and openbsd implementations match our naive fallback. Only FreeBSD (and only x86_64) seems to [implement an optimized version](https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/main/lib/libc/amd64/string/timingsafe_bcmp.S).
It's not worth the hassle of using a platform-specific function for such little gain.
Additionally, as mentioned below, this is the only case outside of sha2 that requires an autoconf check, and I have upcoming PRs to remove the sha2 ones.
Apple's [impl is unoptimized](https://opensource.apple.com/source/Libc/Libc-1244.1.7/string/FreeBSD/timingsafe_bcmp.c.auto.html).
As-is [OpenBSD's impl](https://github.com/openbsd/src/blob/master/lib/libc/string/timingsafe_bcmp.c).
Relevant IRC conversation with sipa:
> \<cfields\> sipa: chacha20poly1305.cpp uses libc's timingsafe_bcmp when possible. But looking around at apple/freebsd/openbsd, I don't see any impl that doesn't use the naive implementation that matches our fallback...
> \<cfields\> is there any reason to belive there's an optimized impl somewhere that we're actually hitting?
> \<cfields\> asking because after cleaning up sha2, timingsafe_bcmp is the last autoconf check that remains in all of crypto. It'd make life easy if we could just always use our internal one.
> \<cfields\> *all of crypto/
> \<sipa\> cfields: let's get rid of the dependency then
> \<sipa\> it's a trivial function
> \<sipa\> and if we need it for some platforms, no real reason not to use it on all
After the above discusstion, I did end up finding the x86_64-optimized FreeBSD impl, but I don't think that's all that significant.

Pull request description:
Closes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/27252
UNIX domain sockets are a mechanism for inter-process communication that are faster than local TCP ports (because there is no need for TCP overhead) and potentially more secure because access is managed by the filesystem instead of serving an open port on the system.
There has been work on [unix domain sockets before](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/9979) but for now I just wanted to start on this single use-case which is enabling unix sockets from the client side, specifically connecting to a local Tor proxy (Tor can listen on unix sockets and even enforces strict curent-user-only access permission before binding) configured by `-onion=` or `-proxy=`
I copied the prefix `unix:` usage from Tor. With this patch built locally you can test with your own filesystem path (example):
`tor --SocksPort unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
`bitcoind -proxy=unix:/Users/matthewzipkin/torsocket/x`
Prep work for this feature includes:
- Moving where and how we create `sockaddr` and `Sock` to accommodate `AF_UNIX` without disturbing `CService`
- Expanding `Proxy` class to represent either a `CService` or a UNIX socket (by its file path)
Future work:
- Enable UNIX sockets for ZMQ (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/27679)
- Enable UNIX sockets for I2P SAM proxy (some code is included in this PR but not tested or exposed to user options yet)
- Enable UNIX sockets on windows where supported
- Update Network Proxies dialog in GUI to support UNIX sockets

Pull request description:
This replaces #28674, #29036, and #29057. Now ready for testing and review.
Replaces platform-specific endian and byteswap functions. This is especially useful for kernel, as it means that our deep serialization code no longer requires bitcoin-config.h.
I apologize for the size of the last commit, but it's hard to avoid making those changes at once.
All platforms now use our internal functions rather than libc or platform-specific ones, with the exception of MSVC.
Sadly, benchmarking showed that not all compilers are capable of detecting and optimizing byteswap functions, so compiler builtins are instead used where possible. However, they're now detected via macros rather than autoconf checks.
This[ matches how libc++ implements std::byteswap for c++23](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/libcxx/include/__bit/byteswap.h#L26).
I suggest we move/rename `compat/endian.h`, but I left that out of this PR to avoid bikeshedding.
#29057 pointed out some irregularities in benchmarks. After messing with various compilers and configs for a few weeks with these changes, I'm of the opinion that we can't win on every platform every time, so we should take the code that makes sense going forward. That said, if any real-world slowdowns are caused here, we should obviously investigate.

1. It didn't actually disable asm usage in our code. Regardless of the setting,
asm is used in random.cpp and support/cleanse.cpp.
2. The value wasn't forwarded to libsecp as a user might have reasonably
expected.
3. We now have the DISABLE_OPTIMIZED_SHA256 define which is what disable-asm
actually did in practice.
If there is any desire, we can hook DISABLE_OPTIMIZED_SHA256 up to a new
configure option that actually does what it says.
ad7584d8b6 serialization: replace char-is-int8_t autoconf detection with c++20 concept (Cory Fields)
Pull request description:
Doesn't depend on #29263, but it's really only relevant after that one's merged.
This removes the only remaining autoconf macro in our serialization code (after #29263), so it can now be used trivially and safely out-of-tree.
~Our code does not currently contain any concepts, but couldn't find any discussion or docs about avoiding them. I guess we'll see if this blows up our c-i.~
Edit: Ignore this. ajtowns pointed out that we're already using a few concepts.
This was introduced in #13580. Please check my logic on this as I'm unable to test on a SmartOS system. Even better would be a confirmation from someone who can build there.

These replace our platform-specific mess in favor of c++20 endian detection
via std::endian and internal byteswap functions when necessary.
They no longer rely on autoconf detection.
Rather than a complicated set of tests to decide which bswap functions to
use, always prefer the compiler built-ins when available.
These builtins and fallbacks can all be removed once we're using c++23, which
adds std::byteswap.
This avoids cases of missing -O2, when *FLAGS has been overriden.
Removes the need for duplicate code to clear autoconf defaults.
Also, move CORE_CXXFLAGS before DEBUG_CXXFLAGS, so that -O2 is always
overriden if debugging etc.
2d1b1c7dae build: remove --enable-lto (fanquake)

308aec3e56 build: disable external-signer for Windows (fanquake)
35537318a1 ci: remove --enable-external-signer from win64 job (fanquake)
Pull request description:
It's come to light that Boost ASIO (a Boost Process sub dep) has in some
instances, been quietly initialising our network stack on Windows (see
PR https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28486 and discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/28940).
This has been shielding a bug in our own code, but the larger issue
is that Boost Process/ASIO is running code before main, and doing things
like setting up networking. This undermines our own assumptions about
how our binary works, happens before we run any sanity checks,
and before we call our own code to setup networking. Note that ASIO also
calls WSAStartup with version `2.0`, whereas we call with `2.2`.
It's also not clear why a feature like external signer would have a
dependency that would be doing anything network/socket related,
given it only exists to spawn a local process.
See also the discussion in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/24907. Note that the maintaince of Boost Process in general,
has not really improved. For example, rather than fixing bugs like https://github.com/boostorg/process/issues/111,
i.e, https://github.com/boostorg/process/pull/317, the maintainer chooses to just wrap exception causing overflows
in try-catch blocks: 0c42a58eac. These changes get merged in large,
unreviewed PRs, i.e https://github.com/boostorg/process/pull/319.
This PR disables external-signer on Windows for now. If, in future, someone
changes how Boost Process works, or replaces it entirely with some
properly reviewed and maintained code, we could reenable this feature on
Windows.

f95af98128 guix: default ssp for Windows GCC (fanquake)
95d55b96c2 guix: remove ssp workaround from Windows GCC (fanquake)
8f43302a0a build: remove explicit libssp linking from Windows build (fanquake)
Pull request description:
I was expecting this to fail to compile somewhere, maybe in the CI, but that doesn't seem to be the case?
Seems workable given the SSP related changes in the newer mingw-w64 headers (which are in Guix):
> Implement some of the stack protector functions/variables so -lssp is now optional when _FORTIFY_SOURCE or -fstack-protector-strong is used.
However I think this would still be broken in some older environments, so we might have to wait for a compiler bump, or similar. The optional -lssp also seems to work when using older headers, which doesn't make sense.
Would fix#28104.

The `vmull_p64` is a part of the Crypto extensions from the ACLE. They
are optional extensions, so they get enabled with a `+crypto` for
architecture flags.
This is deprecated on macOS:
```bash
ld: warning: -bind_at_load is deprecated on macOS
```
and likely redundant anyways, given the behaviour of dyld3.
Unfortunately libtool is still injecting a `-bind_at_load`:
```bash
# Don't allow lazy linking, it breaks C++ global constructors
# But is supposedly fixed on 10.4 or later (yay!).
if test CXX = "$tagname"; then
case ${MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET-10.0} in
10.[0123])
func_append compile_command " $wl-bind_at_load"
func_append finalize_command " $wl-bind_at_load"
;;
esac
fi
```
so this doesn't remove all the warnings, but removes us as a potential
source of them.
Note that anywhere the ld64 warnings are being emitted, we are already
not adding this flag to our hardened ldflags, because of `-Wl,-fatal_warnings`.
Having the link check in the header check loop means we get `-lminiupnpc
-lminiupnpc -lminiupnpc` on the link line. This is unnecessary, and
results in warnings, i.e:
```bash
ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-levent', '-lminiupnpc'
ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-levent', '-lminiupnpc'
ld: warning: ignoring duplicate libraries: '-levent', '-lminiupnpc'
```
These warnings have been occurring since the new linker released with
Xcode 15, and also came up in https://github.com/hebasto/bitcoin/pull/34.
