Merge #17948: build: pass -fno-ident in Windows gitian descriptor
530d02addbfea01ab24a2acd17af456a1e7b798a build: pass -fno-ident in Windows gitian descriptor (fanquake)
Pull request description:
`-fno-ident` prevents compilers from emitting compiler name and version number information that can needlessly bloat binaries.
For example, in the `v0.19.0.1` Windows release binaries, there are > 1000 GCC compiler version strings embedded:
```bash
# GCC: (GNU) 7.3-posix 20180312... & GCC: (GNU) 6.3.0 20170415.......
strings bitcoind.exe | rg GCC | wc -l
1021
```
They end up collected in the end of the`.rdata` section, and cannot be removed by `strip`. i.e:
```bash
objdump --section=.rdata --full-contents bitcoind.exe

The flag is available for [Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ClangCommandLineReference.html#cmdoption-clang-qn) and [GCC](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#index-fno-ident).
Relevant code in [GCC](https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/blob/master/gcc/toplev.c#L565-L578):
```c
/* Attach a special .ident directive to the end of the file to identify
the version of GCC which compiled this code. The format of the .ident
string is patterned after the ones produced by native SVR4 compilers. */
if (!flag_no_ident)
{
const char *pkg_version = "(GNU) ";
char *ident_str;
if (strcmp ("(GCC) ", pkgversion_string))
pkg_version = pkgversion_string;
ident_str = ACONCAT (("GCC: ", pkg_version, version_string, NULL));
targetm.asm_out.output_ident (ident_str);
}
