Pull request description:
Building the master branch with the default build settings (i.e. with external signer support enabled) leads to the following errors on my OpenBSD 6.9 machine:

This PR recommends passing `--disable-external-signer` in the OpenBSD build guide ([as suggested by laanwj](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22294#issuecomment-867452411)). The same commit also bumps the OpenBSD version mentioned in the header to 6.9 -- I recently used this document to setup a Bitcoin Core build on 6.9 and the description and all mentioned versions were still valid (before external signer support was enabled by default).
Would be nice if another OpenBSD user could confirm the build error.

Bitcoin Core
Setup
Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.
To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.
Running
The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.
Unix
Unpack the files into a directory and run:
bin/bitcoin-qt(GUI) orbin/bitcoind(headless)
Windows
Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.
macOS
Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
