cmake: require unbound idiomatically
✓ Descriptive subject! No meaningful explanatory body
The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a build-system cleanup. It changes how the Monero software finds and links the Unbound DNS library during compilation, switching to a more standard CMake method. There is no direct evidence in the commit that it fixes a security vulnerability in running Monero software.

Recommended action

No security response required. Treat as normal build-system maintenance. Reviewers may verify that the new FindUnbound.cmake correctly locates libunbound across supported platforms and that MinGW builds still link required Windows libraries.

Security signals we found

01

Build-system hardening: required dependency is now enforced idiomatically via find_package(... REQUIRED)

02

MinGW cross-compile link closure: adds iphlpapi, ws2_32, crypt32 interface libraries to unbound target, which can prevent build-time omission of needed Windows networking/crypto dependencies
