Add an optional matrix field allowing opt-out of configuring cirrus
GHA cache when not using cirrus runners.
This is not needed for the cirruslabs/[save|restore]-cache actions, as
they automatically fallback based on runner type.

fa8f081af31cd99155c7545643e7b10beb26714d ci: Checkout latest merged pulls (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Currently, the `actions/checkout@v5` checks out pull requests merged against master, which is what we want.
However, it checks out ancient/stale merge commits on a re-run. This is documented (https://docs.github.com/en/actions/how-tos/manage-workflow-runs/re-run-workflows-and-jobs):
> Re-run workflows [...] will also use the same GITHUB_SHA (commit SHA) and GITHUB_REF (git ref) of the original event that triggered the workflow run.
For example:
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/actions/runs/17458152407/job/49579638898?pr=29641#step:9:914 compiles with IPC=ON, even though latest master is at ed2ff3c63d83e275b0785a695fa4db38870abf1a
* https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32989#issuecomment-3133536724 (example explained in comment)
This is problematic, because:
* Unrelated CI failures and intermittent issues, which are fixed or worked around in latest master can not be cleaned by re-running the task. The author has to actively go out and (force-)push the branch, invalidating review.
* It is odd to have a recent CI run, but it uses code and config from the past.
* Detecting silent merge conflicts by re-running the CI task is impossible.
Fix all issues by checking out the latest merged state of the pull request. The behavior is unchanged for non-pull-request actions. This patch changes the "re-run" default behaviour. Forcing it to use the new state instead of running the old state again.

5eeb2facbbbbf68a2c30ef9e6747e39c85d7b116 ci: reduce runner sizes on various jobs (will)
Pull request description:
These jobs can likely use reduced runner sizes to avoid wasting our CPU quota, as much of the long-running part of the job is single-threaded.
This will also give us more (job) parallelisem from the same number of CPU that we are using.

Set new `BitcoinTestFramework.binary_paths.bitcoin_bin` property with path to
the `bitcoin` wrapper binary. This allows new tests for `bitcoin-mine` in
#30437 and `bitcoin-cli` in #32297 to find the `bitcoin` binary and call
`bitcoin -m` to start nodes with IPC support. This way the new tests can run
whenever the ENABLE_IPC build option is enabled, instead of only running when
the `BITCOIN_CMD` environment variable is set to `bitcoin -m`
Previously jobs were running on a large multi-core server where 10 jobs
as default made sense (or may even have been on the low side).
Using hosted runners with fixed (and lower) numbers of vCPUs we should
adapt compilation to match the number of cpus we have dynamically.
This is cross-platform compatible with macos and linux only.
To remove multiple occurances of the respository name, against which we
compare `${{ github.repository }}` to check if we should use Cirrus
Runners, introduce a helper job which can check a single environment
variable and output this as an input to subsequent jobs.
Forks can maintain a trivial patch of their repo name against the
`REPO_USE_CIRRUS_RUNNERS` variable in ci.yml if they have Cirrus Runners
of their own, which will then enable cache actions and docker build
cache to use Cirrus Cache.
It's not possible to use `${{ env.USE_CIRRUS_RUNNERS }}` in the
`runs-on:` directive as the context is not supported by GitHub.
If it was, this job would no longer be necessary.
Whilst the action cirruslabs/actions/cache will automatically set this
host, the docker `gha` build cache backend will not be aware of it.
Set the value here, which will later be used in the docker build args to
enable docker build cache on the cirrus cache.
If set, Cirrus runners will be used on pushes to, and pull requests
against, this repository.
Forks can set this if they have their own cirrus runners.

4f06dc848460c887ad8337702ed900ba78725906 test: remove building from source from get prev releases script (Max Edwards)
Pull request description:
This PR updates the `test/get_previous_releases.py` script to also work on Windows by changing to be pure python rather than using unix tools such as `curl` and `tar`.
This enables additional functional tests to run such as `wallet_migration.py`, `mempool_compatability.py` and `wallet_backwards_compatibility.py`.
Unfortunately `feature_unsupported_utxo_db.py` _could_ run but this test requires Bitcoin `v0.14.3` which will not run under windows with emojis in the data directory (as the functional test runner has by default) . This test could be run as it's own step in the ci workflow file and would pass but as it's quite an old version / feature I have assumed it's not worth worrying about and best just to exclude.
Two tests needed to be slightly modified to run under windows. Both were issues with trying to overwrite a file that already exists which windows seems to be more strict on than the unix based systems.
Finally, building from source has been dropped from the `get_previous_releases.py` script. This had not been updated after the move to cmake and so it was assumed that nobody could have been using that feature.

This test required v0.14.3 which doesn't support special characters like
emojis in the datapath on windows. Functional test runner includes a few
emojis in it's default data directory.
* 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`.

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)
