These scripts are not meant for general developer usage. They are for
use on the release binaries, which have been compiled in an environment
that makes various assumptions in regards to c library, compiler
options, hardening options, patching etc.
With newly introduced libmultiprocess subtree, there's no need for depends
system to download and track changes to the upstream repository.
Note that adding the libmultiprocess subtree does not allow dropping
libmultiprocess packages from the depends build, because libmultiprocess
includes a code generation tool called mpgen, and in cross-compiled builds,
bitcoin core's cmake build system doesn't have access to a native toolchain and
can't build mpgen itself, so the depends system (or the native environment if
not using depends) needs to supply it.
Rather than potentially having to set this per-package, set it globally,
as this should always be what we want. Without doing this, changes in
later commits will have to add this per-package.
Similar to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/29488, which is the
Autotools equivalent.
We currently do this sporadically. Not only amongst packages, but across
OS's, i.e sometimes it's done for BSDs/Android, and sometimes not.
Configure with `--with-pic` globally instead. I think this generally
makes more sense, and should not have any downsides.
See related discussion in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/28846#discussion_r1399123100.
We use pkg-config where we can, which generally replaces libtool at a
higher level and does not have the same downsides as libtool. These
archives sit in our depends tree with no purpose and pollute the final
bitcoin build with massive overlinking.
Some dependency sources were downloaded via http, even though https (SSL/TLS) options are available.
Even if we potentially check the integrity of the downloaded files via hash comparison, we should make
use of this additional security layer.

miniupnp was switched to official project mirror with SSL support
Documentation more readable when viewed on Github.
Some extra changes by @laanwj:
- Make README.usage the default README. This is more convenient from a
user perspective. Link to other documentation in this default README
- Add list of popular targets for cross compilation, change default to
Win64 instead of Win32
