ci: add chimera Linux LTO CI job
What changed, and why it matters
This commit adds a new automated testing configuration file for Bitcoin Core's continuous integration (CI) system. It sets up a build environment using Chimera Linux with link-time optimization (LTO) enabled. There is no code change to Bitcoin Core itself, no bug fix, and no security-relevant change.
No security action needed. This is a routine CI infrastructure addition.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The commit introduces ci/test/00_setup_env_native_chimera_lto.sh, a shell script that configures a CI job. It specifies a Chimera Linux container image, base packages, pip packages, compiler/toolchain variables (clang/llvm), and CMake options including -DCMAKE_INTERPROCEDURAL_OPTIMIZATION=ON. This is purely an infrastructure/testing addition.
