When compiling without external signer support, the resulted `bench_bitcoin.exe` fails on Windows:
```
>.\bench_bitcoin.exe -filter=AddrManSelectByNetwork
Error: bad optional access
```

Steps to reproduce the failure:
- cross compiling on Ubuntu 22.04:
```
$ make -j $(nproc) -C depends HOST=x86_64-w64-mingw32 NO_QT=1
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure CONFIG_SITE=$PWD/depends/x86_64-w64-mingw32/share/config.site --disable-external-signer
$ make -j $(nproc)
```
- compiling natively on Windows:

Apply the diff as follows:
```diff
--- a/build_msvc/bitcoin_config.h.in
+++ b/build_msvc/bitcoin_config.h.in

The failure does not manifest itself when running `bench_bitcoin.exe` using Wine on Linux.
