* Run git config earlier and only once
* Run git merge in the yaml, before calling the bash script
* Run git reset in the yaml as well, for symmetry
* Replace "git merge --abort" with "git reset --hard", because it does
not fail when already up to date and no merge was started.
faa807bdf8c3002a28005b4765604f518a6f2736 ci: Merge master in test-each-commit task (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
The `test-each-commit` task will often fail, when the CI config yaml is updated along with code changes.
This is because, GitHub seems to be merging the CI config on a fresh pull with the current target branch (`master`). However, the code changes are not.
A tedious workaround would be for every developer to rebase on every intermittent (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31946#issuecomment-2740911853) and non-intermittent CI issue.
However, fix this instead by merging with `master`.

6d4214925fadc36d26aa58903db5788c742e68c6 cmake: Require Qt 6 to build GUI (Hennadii Stepanov)
Pull request description:
The currently used Qt 5.15 is approaching [EOL](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-5.15-extended-support-for-subscription-license-holders) and will reach it before the Bitcoin Core v30 release. The recent migration of the build system to CMake makes it possible to switch to Qt 6.
This PR updates the OS runtime compatibility requirements for the Bitcoin Core GUI as follows:
### 1. Linux
Starting with Qt 6.5.0, the `libxcb-cursor0` package is required to be installed at runtime.
### 2. Windows
Cross-compiling does not support LTO. We have to re-add it in a follow-up.
A new style plugin causes minor visual glitches, such as

which will be fixed in follow-ups.
### 3. macOS
`bitcoin-qt` now uses the [Metal](https://developer.apple.com/metal/) backend.

UPD 2024-10-09. Qt 6.8 has been [released](https://www.qt.io/blog/qt-6.8-released), but it has some [drawbacks](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/30997#issuecomment-2402990346) for us. As a result, this PR will stick to Qt 6.7.
UPD 2025-03-18: [Standard support for Qt 5.15 will end after 26th of May 2025](https://www.qt.io/blog/extended-security-maintenance-for-qt-5.15-begins-may-2025)

Require that sqlite is available in order to compile the wallet. Removes
instances of USE_SQLITE since it is no longer possible to not have
sqlite available.
The NO_SQLITE option is dropped from depends.

This change:
1. Collects build artifacts in dedicated locations.
2. Allows running bitcoin-chainstate.exe with bitcoinkernel.dll directly
from the build tree on Windows.

According to the description for pkg-config, "pkgconf is a
replacement for pkg-config, providing additional functionality
while also maintaining compatibility. This package only provides
a dependency link to the pkgconf package to help with package
upgrades. It can be safely removed."
Thus several scripts and markdown files are updated.
b031b7910d62819443813b91705211c466933a53 [ci] Split out native fuzz jobs for macOS and windows (dergoegge)
Pull request description:
Split out two new CI jobs (for native macOS and windows) that run the fuzz tests on the qa-assets input corpora.
In both jobs the fuzz binary is built with `-DBUILD_FOR_FUZZING` to enable `Assume` assertions as well as `FUZZING_BUILD_MODE_UNSAFE_FOR_PRODUCTION`.

fae3cf0ffa619f8fe7e4ace1889fe7abbb53a532 ci: Temporarily disable macOS/Windows fuzz step (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
`g_fuzzing` is used inside `Assume` at runtime, causing significant overhead in hot paths. See https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31178
One could simply remove the `g_fuzzing` check from the `Assume`, but this would make fuzzing a bit less useful. Also, it would be unclear if `g_fuzzing` adds a runtime overhead in other code paths today or in the future.
Fix all issues by making `G_FUZZING` equal to the build option `BUILD_FOR_FUZZING`, and for consistency in fuzzing, require it to be set when executing any fuzz target.
Fixes https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/31178
Temporarily this drops fuzzing from two CI tasks, but they can be re-added in a follow-up with something like https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/31073

ryanofsky:
Code review ACK fafbf8acf419d5e2ca307e5804099361ca7471af but approach -0, because this approach means libraries built for fuzz testing do not function correctly if used in a release, and libraries built for releases are mostly useless for fuzz testing. So I would like to at least consider other solutions to this problem even if we go with this one.
