External lib build

Requirements:

1. Docker

2. make (sudo apt install make, little tricky to get it on Windows, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/32127524/how-to-install-and-use-make-in-windows)

3. Huge amount of RAM and free disk space

Building:

1. Clone https://github.com/m2049r/monero repo.

2. Change repo to correct branch (example: git checkout release-v0.17.1.9-monerujo).

3. Update submodules: git submodule update --init --force.

4. Then go to folder with xmrwallet repo, then external-libs. Here you need to create symbol link to monero folder:

Linux: ln -s ~/monero ~/xmrwallet/external-libs/monero

Windows: mklink /D "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\xmrwallet\external-libs\monero" "C:\Users\<USERNAME>\monero"

5. Start Docker and then run make in external-libs folder. It will fail at end on Windows, but if wallet2_api.h exists in include folder, the build was successful.
