fab558612278909df93bdf88f5727b04f13aef0f doc: Use precise permission flags where possible (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Instead of mentioning the all-encompassing `-whitelist*` settings, change the docs to mention the exact permission flag that will influence the behaviour.
This is needed because in the future, the too-broad `-whitelist*` settings (they either include *all* permission flags or apply to *all* peers) might be deprecated to require the permission flags to be enumerated.
Alternatively, in the future there could be an RPC to set the net permission flags on an existing connection, in which case the `-whitelist*` terminology is of no help.

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.

3eac2d57b1ff563bc9cfe123f6ded2764cc50da0 docs: add "sections" info to example bitcoin.conf (Alistair Mann)
Pull request description:
Rebased / commit message fixed version of #15387.
This had ACKs, but just needed the commit message fixed up.
> Most bitcoin.conf options apply to all three networks,
however some apply only to mainnet unless specified in a section.
As stands, conf file has no indication that sections are now in use
or are in some circumstances mandatory (eg, changing rpcport for testnet.)
> Proposed change notifies the reader early which options are affected,
specifically adds those options affected but not already in the example,
adds brief explanation as to what's going on and provides a skeleton template for the sections themselves.

fa4da3c058 [doc] conf: Remove deprecated options from docs, Other cleanup (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Some dumb fixes, like removing the mention that free transactions are still a thing or that rpcuser/pass should be used (as opposed to rpcauth or rpc cookie).
Combined with other fixes because I don't want to create 3 pull requests:
* conf: Remove deprecated options from docs
* Remove only mention of MIT/X11
* Link to developer notes in README.md

This script creates `rpcauth` entries for bitcoin.conf, not the deprecated `rpcuser` entry, so this changes the name of the script to match.

The two timeouts for the server and client, are essentially different:
- In the case of the server it should be a lower value to avoid clients
clogging up connection slots
- In the case of the client it should be a high value to accomedate slow
responses from the server, for example for slow queries or when the
lock is contended
Split the options into `-rpcservertimeout` and `-rpcclienttimeout` with
respective defaults of 30 and 900.
