a0a771843f contrib: Changes to checks for PowerPC64 (Luke Dashjr)
634f6ec4eb contrib: Parse ELF directly for symbol and security checks (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
Instead of the ever-messier text parsing of the output of the readelf tool (which is clearly meant for human consumption not to be machine parseable), parse the ELF binaries directly.
Add a small dependency-less ELF parser specific to the checks.
This is slightly more secure, too, because it removes potential ambiguity due to misparsing and changes in the output format of `elfread`. It also allows for stricter and more specific ELF format checks in the future.
This removes the build-time dependency for `readelf`.
It passes the test-security-check for me locally, ~~though I haven't checked on all platforms~~. I've checked that this works on the cross-compile output for all ELF platforms supported by Bitcoin Core at the moment, as well as PPC64 LE and BE.

6690adba08 Warn when binaries are built from a dirty branch. (Tyler Chambers)
Pull request description:
- Adjusted `--version` flag behavior in bitcoind and bitcoin-wallet to have the same behavior.
- Added `--version` flag to bitcoin-tx to match.
- Added functionality in gen-manpages.sh to error when attempting to generate man pages for binaries built from a dirty branch.
mitigates problem with issue #20412

Check both failure cases:
- Use a glibc symbol from a version that is too new
- Use a symbol from a library that is not in the allowlist
And also check a conforming binary.
Adding a similar check for Windows PE can be done in a separate PR.
