Merge #15208: Qt: remove macOS launch-at-startup when compiled with > macOS 10.11, fix memory missmanagement 
da6011826a Fix macOS launch-at-startup memory issue (Jonas Schnelli)
516437a1b7 Qt: remove macOS launch-at-startup option when compiled with > macOS 10.11 (Jonas Schnelli)

Pull request description:

  The launch-at-startup API Bitcoin Core uses on macOS where removed in macOS 10.11 leading to a segmentation-fault due to the weak-linking when not actively compiled against SDK 10.11 (`-mmacosx-version-min=10.11`)

  This PR removes the launch-at-startup feature on macOS when compiled with macOS min version > 10.11 (the default is always the macOS version you compile on).

  **The depends built binaries (Gitian) are not affected since we are building with min macOS 10.10.**

  Users self compiling on macOS > 10.11 can re-enable the feature by compiling with min version <= 10.11 (`CXXFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" CFLAGS="-mmacosx-version-min=10.11" ./configure`)

  **Isn't there a new API from Apple?**
  Yes, [there is](https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPSystemStartup/Chapters/CreatingLoginItems.html).
  It will require to create a helper application which needs to be embedded in the .app folder (needs code signing as well). Developers willing to go down that rabbit hole are welcome.

  Fixes #15142

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) or
  • bin/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.
