Multiprocess build changes

autotools and automake changes to support multiprocess execution.

This adds a new --enable-multiprocess flag, and build configuration code to
detect libraries needed for multiprocess support. The --enable-multiprocess
flag builds new bitcoin-node and bitcoin-gui executables, which are updated in
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/10102 to communicate across processes.
But for now they are functionally equivalent to existing bitcoind and
bitcoin-qt executables.
