Pull request description:

  Prerequisite for external signer support in #16546. Big picture overview in [this gist](https://gist.github.com/Sjors/29d06728c685e6182828c1ce9b74483d).

  This adds a new dependency [boost process](https://github.com/boostorg/process/tree/boost-1.64.0). This is part of Boost since 1.64 which is part of `depends`. Because the minimum Boost version is 1.47, this functionality is skipped for older versions of Boost.

  Use `./configure --with-boost-process` to opt in, which checks for the presence of Boost::Process.

  We add `UniValue runCommandParseJSON(const std::string& strCommand)` to `system.{h,cpp}` which calls an arbitrary command and processes the JSON returned by it. This is currently only called by the test suite.

  ~For testing purposes this adds a new regtest-only RPC method `runcommand`, as well as `test/mocks/command.py` used by functional tests.~ (this is no longer the case)

  TODO:
  - [ ] review boost process in #15440

  hebasto:
    re-ACK 31cf68a3ad1f0a5537c8419e2912b55fbfb88fa0, only rebased (verified with `git range-diff`) and removed an unintentional tab character since the [previous](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/15382#pullrequestreview-458371035) review.
  meshcollider:
    Very light utACK 31cf68a3ad1f0a5537c8419e2912b55fbfb88fa0, although I am not very confident with build stuff.
  promag:
    Code review ACK 31cf68a3ad1f0a5537c8419e2912b55fbfb88fa0, don't mind the nit.
  ryanofsky:
    Code review ACK 31cf68a3ad1f0a5537c8419e2912b55fbfb88fa0. I left some comments below that could be ignored or followed up later. The current change is clean and comprehensive.
