Gitian outputs cleanup #5371

   This addresses #5343, and a few things I discussed on IRC with @laanwj. Depends on #5370.

   • Tar/zip files before copying to outputs. This fixes symlinks.
   • Delete unnecessary files
   • Split linux32/linux64 releases
   • Split win32/win64 zips
   • Post-processing should no longer be required. The deterministic outputs are ready for consumption.

   I've updated the release-process notes as best I can without actually doing a real release. I'm sure there are mistakes, but I'm hoping they're minimal.

   Because the diff is rough to read, here's the gitian output for all builds (current master):

   bitcoin-0.9.99.tar.gz (source)
   bitcoin-0.9.99-osx.dmg
   bitcoin-0.9.99-osx64.tar.gz
   bitcoin-0.9.99-linux32.tar.gz
   bitcoin-0.9.99-linux64.tar.gz
   bitcoin-0.9.99-win32-setup.exe
   bitcoin-0.9.99-win32.zip
   bitcoin-0.9.99-win64-setup.exe
   bitcoin-0.9.99-win64.zip
   

   Here's the contents of one of the tarballs. They're all pretty the same with the exception of file extensions and lib semantics:

   bitcoin-0.9.99-linux32.tar.gz:

   bitcoin-0.9.99
   ├── bin
   │   ├── bitcoin-cli
   │   ├── bitcoind
   │   ├── bitcoin-qt
   │   ├── bitcoin-tx
   │   ├── test_bitcoin
   │   └── test_bitcoin-qt
   ├── include
   │   └── bitcoinconsensus.h
   └── lib
       ├── libbitcoinconsensus.so -> libbitcoinconsensus.so.0.0.0
       ├── libbitcoinconsensus.so.0 -> libbitcoinconsensus.so.0.0.0
       └── libbitcoinconsensus.so.0.0.0

3. release: update docs to reflect new layout

   - Split linux32/linux64 releases
   - Split win32/win64 zips
   - Post-processing should no longer be required. The deterministic outputs are
     ready for consumption.

   I approve of your usage of ascii line drawing.

   haha thanks, but /usr/bin/tree gets the credit there :)

   Nice. Everything that shortens the release process is a win, and splitting 32-bit/64-bit/source releases is something that we should have done a long time ago.

   ACK

   @saivann FYI see above - the list of released files for 0.10 will be slightly different than up until now for 0.9. This may require changes to the download page.

    Any reason why the osx dmg is called '-osx' and not '-osx64' (or even -osx64-setup)? < /extremenitpicking >

    @sipa no particular reason. For now, we only have one osx flavor, but I don't see any harm in making that flavor explicit in the filename either.
