Pull request description:

  Update chainparams pre `25.x` branch off.
  Co-Author in the commits as a PR (#27223) had previously been opened too-early to do the same.

  Note: Remember that some variance is expected in the `m_assumed_*` sizes.

doc: remove outdated version number usage from release-process
We no-longer use the leading 0. version number, and having a mixture is
both in the release-process examples is needlessly confusing.

contrib: remove builder keys
This has been superseded by adding a builder-keys/ directory in
guix.sigs, where the presence of keys, and validity of signatures
is checked. Preventing issues like missing keys or invalid signatures.

New (or exisiting) Guix builders can add their key in the next PR
they open adding attestations.

fa4943e8df2e1048a5030f1d93776ca2b9da7b8a doc: Add template for empty release notes (MarcoFalke)

Pull request description:

  * Move release process notes from the release notes to the release process documentation
  * Clarify that wallet RPC or Settings related release notes snippets should not be duplicated. I think it should be sufficient to only mention them in the wallet section and leave them out from the general RPC section.
  * Create an empty template to ensure the release notes can be cleared with a single `cp` command. Also, this ensures that the "no duplication" note isn't deleted again. (We used to have it in at least the 22.0 and 21.0 release notes: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/release-notes/release-notes-0.21.0.md#updated-settings , but it was lost in the 23.0 notes)

  - solves '-' stripping issue (fixes #22681)
  - makes that a copyright footer is generated correctly again

  Also change the release process to swap gen-manpages and update RC steps, so that the pages will have the correct rc and/or final version.

Pull request description:

  Based on: #21462

  Keeping the README in one file so that it's easy to search through. Will add more jumping links later so navigation is easier.

  Current TODOs:
  - [x] Shell installer option: prompt user to re-login for `/etc/profile.d` entry to be picked up
  - [x] Binary tarball option: prompt user to create `/etc/profile.d` entry and re-login
  - [x] Fanquake docker option: complete section
  - [x] Arch Linux AUR option: prompt to start `guix-daemon-latest` unit after finishing "optional setup" section
  - [x] Building from source option: Insert dependency tree diagram that I made
  - [x] Building from source option: redo sectioning, kind of a mess right now
  - [x] Optional setup: make clear which parts are only needed if building from source
  - [x] Workaround 1 for GnuTLS: perhaps mention how to remove Guix build farm's key
  - [x] Overall (after everything): Make the links work.

  Note to self: wherever possible, tell user how to check that something is true rather than branching by installation option.

    ACK fac4814106c796b8786dd90053513cc35142dfe5 - going to go ahead and merge this now. It's a lot of documentation, and could probably be nit-picked / improved further, however, that can continue over the next few weeks. I'm sure more (backportable) improvements / clarifications will be made while we progress through RCs towards a new release.

8f7b930475 Drop the leading 0 from the version number
Removes the leading 0 from the version number. The minor version, which
we had been using as the major version, is now the major version. The
revision, which we had been using as the minor version, is now the minor
version. The revision number is dropped. The build number is promoted to
being part of the version number. This also avoids issues where it was
accidentally not included in the version number.

The CLIENT_VERSION remains the same format as previous as previously,
the Major version was 0 so that was never a factor in CLIENT_VERSION.
