Pull request description:

  This PR:
  - is an alternative to #17104
  - closes #16734
  - closes #6753

  The idea is clear described by some developers:
  - [MarcoFalke](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17097#issuecomment-540691850):
  > This whole concept of explicitly listing each and every file manually (or with a fragile wildcard) is an obvious sisyphean task. I'd say all we need to do is run git archive and be done with it forever, see #16734, #6753, #11530 ...

  - [laanwj](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17097#issuecomment-540706025):
  > I agree, I've never been a fan of it. I don't think we have any files in the git repository we don't want to ship in the source tarball.

  ---

  The suggested changes have a downside which is pointed by [**luke-jr**](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/17104#issuecomment-540828045):
  > ... but the distfile needs to include autogen-generated files.

  This means that a user is not able to run `./configure && make` right away. One must run `./autogen.sh` at first.

  Here are opinions about mandatory use of `./autogen.sh`:
  - [ryanofsky](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16734#issuecomment-534139356):
  > It's probably ok to require autogen. I think historically configure scripts were supposed to work on obscure unix systems that would just have a generic shell + make tool + c compiler, and not necessarily need gnu packages like m4 which are needed for autogen.

  - [laanwj](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/16734#issuecomment-540729483):
  > I also think it's fine to require autogen. What is one dependency more, if you're building from source.

  Note for reviewers: please verify is `git archive` output deterministic?
