The intention is to upgrade Qt in master to the latest point release of the current Qt LTS. This change can then be back-ported to the 0.17 branch (wether it makes it into 0.17.1 or not). Then, sometime before the 0.18.0 release, we could move to using Qt 5.12+ in depends (which is also LTS). That discussion, as well as minimum supported Qt versions is in #13478. ### Qt 5.9.7 [Release announcement](https://blog.qt.io/blog/2018/10/23/qt-5-9-7-released/) [Changelog](https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-70888?filter=20149) ### Expat 2.2.6 * Avoid doing arithmetic with NULL pointers in XML_GetBuffer * Fix 2.2.5 regression with suspend-resume while parsing a document like <root/> Full changelog [here](https://github.com/libexpat/libexpat/blob/R_2_2_6/expat/Changes) https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/14849/commits/a46c8476e9598742e52944b6270b1854c8f500a2 disables a bunch of qt features we aren't currently using. This speeds up the qt depends build slightly (also decreases the size of the built `qt-5.9.7` tar by about 2%). The disabling is somewhat unintuitive, hence `[wip]` until after a travis run and gitian build.

The feature is exposed in `listunspent`, `getaddressinfo`, and `scantxoutset` whenever these calls are applied to solvable outputs/addresses. This is not very useful on its own, though when we add RPCs to import descriptors, or sign PSBTs using descriptors, these strings become a compact and standalone way of conveying everything necessary to sign an output (excluding private keys). Unit tests and rudimentary RPC tests are included (more relevant tests can be added once RPCs support descriptors). Fixes #14503.

Furthermore, when RC's are built, the resulting filenames are of the release version and do not include `rc` in them. This occurs because `configure.ac` is written to create version numbers of the form `major.minor.rev` instead of `major.minor.rev.build` and without any rc version as it does not handle rc numbers. This PR changes `configure.ac` to include the build number if it is greater than 0. It will also include the rc number if it is greater than 0. So the filenames of the gitian builds will now contain the full version number. This behavior can be tested by setting `_CLIENT_VERSION_BUILD` and `_CLIENT_VERSION_RC` to non-zero values and then doing `make dist`. A tar file should be created with the correct versioning.

Adds a new `witnessscript` parameter which must be used for the witness scripts in the relevant situations. Also includes some tests for the various import types. ~Also makes the change in #14019 redundant, but cherry-picks the test from that PR to test the behavior (@achow101).~ Fixes #12253, also addresses the second point in #12703, and fixes #14407 Tree-SHA512: 775a755c524d1c387a99acddd772f677d2073876b72403dcfb92c59f9b405ae13ceedcf4dbd2ee1d7a8db91c494f67ca137161032ee3a2071282eeb411be090a
