Merge bitcoin#31130: Drop miniupnp dependency

Miniupnpc is a C library (somewhat) maintained by a single person which had several vulnerabilities in the past (a couple dozens are listed [here](https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvekey.cgi?keyword=miniupnp)), some of which directly affected our software ([RCE in 2015](https://bitcoincore.org/en/2024/07/03/disclose_upnp_rce/), [OOM in 2020](https://bitcoincore.org/en/2024/07/31/disclose-upnp-oom/)). The main purpose of this functionality is to have more (non-data-center) reachable nodes on the network. For a non-technical user running Bitcoin Core at home, the software would automatically open a port on their router to receive incoming connections. This way, users not able to manually open a port on their router would still provide the network with more resources and enhance its diversity. However, due to past vulnerabilities (and a worry about unknown future ones) in miniupnpc this feature was disabled by default in bitcoin#6795. Having it disabled by default kills (most of?) the purpose of having this functionality in the first place: someone technical enough to understand the `-upnp` startup option or the "enable UPnP" setting is most likely able to open a port on his box in the first place. In addition, laanwj implemented PCP with a NAT-PMP fallback directly in Bitcoin Core in bitcoin#30043. If we ever want to re-enable automatic NAT traversal by default in Bitcoin Core, this is the best option (and in my opinion the only sane one). The NAT-PMP fallback makes it so compatibility shouldn't be (much of) an issue. On balance, i believe that keeping this functionality and this barely maintained C dependency has higher costs than benefits. Therefore i propose that we get rid of it.
