a2a03c3ca94b1cdd279ac09f2a81e04d262586fd fixing documentation to not require rpcpassword (“jkcd”)
Pull request description:
Configuration section in [doc/init.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/init.md) says user must set rpcpassword in order to run bitcoind. Since [71cbea](71cbeaad9a) fixed the code to use a cookie for authentication, it is not mandatory to set rpcpassword in the configuration.
Fixes#16346

6aab7649d30b19d136a27f1287fd2c8b00fb460c doc: Fix whitespace errs in .md files, bitcoin.conf, Info.plist.in, and find_bdb48.m4 (Jon Layton)
Pull request description:
Although there is an existing `test/lint/lint-whitespace.sh` linter, it only prevents new errors from being introduced. This commit removes all existing whitespace errors from Core markdown files (skips `src/crypto/ctaes/`, `leveldb/`, and `doc/release-notes/`), `bitcoin.conf`, and `Info.plist.in`.
Further formatting could be done on the markdown documents, but seeing as there several coexisting styles that break a few `markdownlint` rules, a first step would be to define and add a linter to Travis. For now, the small fix is made.

Pull request description:
Since 2016, with [macOS 10.12 Sierra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MacOS_Sierra), Mac OS X has been renamed in macOS. It would be a nice if Bitcoin's macOS build instructions follow this naming convention to avoid misunderstandings.

4d14d06fc docs: clarified systemd installation instructions in init.md for Ubuntu users. (DaveFromBinary)
Pull request description:
Added a note to init.md to clarify the .service copy path for Ubuntu because it differs from the described copy path.
Also noted which version of Ubuntu switched to systemd for the default system init to clarify when the systemd installation steps should be used instead of the upstart installation steps for Ubuntu users.

72a184a Update init.md: Fix line breaks in section 3b. (Carl Dong)
Pull request description:
Trivial commit that fixes Markdown line breaks in `docs/init.md`. Markdown line breaks take the form of two spaces, which is hard to spot when viewing raw text but visible when previewing on GitHub. Line 72-73 of `docs/init.md` did not conform to the rest the rest of the documentation, and is corrected in this PR.
