[bug] PepeCoin fails to build on newer versions of Boost, Protobuf, and miniupnpc

[tuaris]

Bug Report

Current behavior:
Build fails with various compiler errors related to ABI changes from later versions of Boost, Protobuf, and miniupnpc.

Expected behavior
Build succeeds after applying patches from upstream Dogecoin and Bitcoin

• dogecoin/dogecoin@37909dd
• dogecoin/dogecoin@95554c3
• dogecoin/dogecoin@a2caaf1
• 1.14.8: allow compiling with c++17 dogecoin/dogecoin#3589
• upnp: fix build with miniupnpc 2.2.8 bitcoin/bitcoin#30283

Many of the above patches (or fixes) are already in Dogecoin master branch

Steps to reproduce:
Attempt to build Pepecoin using modern versions of miniupnpc (>=2.2.8), protobuf (24.x), and Boost (>=1.74.0)

Did you check against dev-1.1.0 branch? Seems like lots of dogecoin patches have been pulled in.

[vladpirlog]

Can confirm that compiling branch 1.1.0-dev on Arch Linux fails as well, due to the same issues related to miniupnp and protobuf.

One possible solution is applying the following patch, which includes changes similar to dogecoin/dogecoin#3589 (use c++17) and bitcoin/bitcoin#30283 (fix miniupnp function signature).
