Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#25788: guix: patch NSIS to remove .reloc sections from installer stubs 
7a0b129c41 guix: patch NSIS to remove .reloc sections from install stubs (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  With the release of binutils/ld 2.36, ld swapped to much improved
  default settings when producing windows binaries with mingw-w64. One of
  these changes was to stop stripping the .reloc section from binaries,
  which is required for working ASLR.

  When we switched to using a newer Guix time-machine in #23778, we begun
  using binutils 2.37 to produce releases. Since then, our windows
  installer (produced with makensis) has not functioned correctly when run on
  a Windows system with the "Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)"
  option enabled. Note that all of our other release binaries, which all
  contain .reloc sections, function fine under the same option, so it
  cannot be just the presence of a .reloc section that is the issue.

  The root cause of the problem is that when we compile NSIS (makensis), a number
  of exe installer stubs are produced at the same time, for use later when makensis
  is actually run. Given the new linker defaults, the stubs will contain .reloc sections,
  when previously they would not. It seems that, in combination with how makensis
  mutates the stub when it actually builds the installer, causes the problem.

  According to upstream, https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis/bugs/1131/#abb6:
  > Looks like the problem is the very existance of the .reloc section.
  > It's not supposed to be there, and makensis doesn't handle it.

  The most recent .reloc related upstream activity is in
  https://sourceforge.net/p/nsis/bugs/1283/, where the conclusion again seemed to
  be that .relo sections are not wanted, but there hasn't been any further follow up.

  For now, restore pre-binutils-2.36 behaviour, by passing `-Wl,--disable-reloc-section`
  to the linker when building the installer stubs, which fixes the produced installer.
  The underlying issue can be further investigated in future.

  .reloc section stripping is something we've accounted for previously,
  see #18702, and related upstream discussion is in this thread:
  https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19011.

  Fixes #25726.

Bitcoin Core integration/staging tree

https://bitcoincore.org

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled in configure) with: make check. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
