b33af48210c117a734fc3e1bebeb1c2057645775 Include wallet/bdb.h where it is actually being used (Andrew Chow)

Pull request description:

  Adds a `--without-bdb` option to `configure` which disables the compilation of the BDB stuff. Legacy wallets will not be created when BDB is not compiled. A legacy-sqlite wallet can be loaded, but we will not create them.

  Based on #20156 to resolve the situation where both `--without-sqlite` and `--without-bdb` are provided. In that case, the wallet is disabled and `--disable-wallet` is effectively set.

Controlling dependencies

Some dependencies are not needed in all configurations. The following are some factors that affect the dependency list.

Options passed to ./configure

  • MiniUPnPc is not needed with --with-miniupnpc=no.
  • Berkeley DB is not needed with --disable-wallet or --without-bdb.
  • SQLite is not needed with --disable-wallet or --without-sqlite.
  • Qt is not needed with --without-gui.
  • If the qrencode dependency is absent, QR support won't be added. To force an error when that happens, pass --with-qrencode.
  • ZeroMQ is needed only with the --with-zmq option.

Other

  • librsvg is only needed if you need to run make deploy on (cross-compilation to) macOS.
