JeremyRand 6f7f141f77 Add riscv64 to outputs list in release-process.md
The riscv64 binary is created by the Gitian scripts and distributed by the
Bitcoin Core website, so it should be listed in the release process docs.

JeremyRand 7d8a8cc25f Avoid launching as admin when NSIS installer ends.
The Bitcoin Core NSIS script runs with elevated privileges.  Unfortunately, this means that it launches Bitcoin Core itself with elevated privileges when the user chooses to launch Bitcoin Core at the end of the installation procedure.  This commit works around the issue by having explorer.exe launch Bitcoin Core.  Seems to be a similar approach to what http://nsis.sourceforge.net/ShellExecAsUser_plug-in does, but without a plugin.

h/t to "UK" at https://mdb-blog.blogspot.se/2013/01/nsis-lunch-program-as-user-from-uac.html?showComment=1410158039989#c2463780017054126736 for the sample code.

Fixes #7990.

JeremyRand b06f6a992b Fixed invalid example paths in gitian-building.md
The example local paths for "Building fully offline" have an extraneous ".git".  This caused an error when trying to run gbuild, like this

fatal: '/home/user/bitcoin.git' does not appear to be a git repository
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.

This commit fixes that.

JeremyRand 0528e30a45 Remove wxwidgets references from NSIS script.
The NSIS script tried to delete wxwidgets-based executables/locales.  These files are ancient, and presumably no users have them anymore, so we can simplify the NSIS script by removing those lines.

JeremyRand 26880c34cd build: Use PACKAGE_TARNAME and new bin names in NSIS script.
Replaces the hardcoded string "bitcoin" with the autoconf variable PACKAGE_TARNAME; fixes #7265.

Places where I chose not to replace:

1. bitcoin.ico wasn't replaced because it doesn't seem to be relevant to the build system and its filename never affects the end user.
2. InstallDir wasn't replaced because the current text has an uppercase B, and I'm not sure of a good way to capitalize the result of PACKAGE_TARNAME.
3. A comment in the Main Installer section wasn't replaced because comments don't ever face the end user.
4. The registry value "URL:Bitcoin" wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.
5. Startup shortcut wasn't replaced for the same reason as InstallDir.

All other appearances of "bitcoin" were replaced with PACKAGE_TARNAME, except for the bin names, which were instead replaced with the new bin name autoconf variables.

JeremyRand 190c1e234d Doc: change Precise to Trusty in gitian-building.md
https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/commit/2cecb2460002bc645e47e8517b21099b0faec818 changed "precise" to "trusty" in the shell command, but didn't change the text above it accordingly.  This commit fixes that.
