fc726e0138ab1fb1b757ccb4c86557c1c97be831 doc, rpc: add missing signet mentions in network name lists (Sebastian Falbesoner)

Pull request description:

  This small PR adds a few missing mentions of signet w.r.t. chain enumerations:

  - RPC `getblockchaininfo`: result description for `"chain"`
  - RPC `getmininginfo`: result description for `"chain"`
  - REST interface documentation:
      - default ports listing for each chain
      - `"chain"` description for `chaininfo` endpoint result

  The instances were identified via `git grep -i "main.*test.*reg"`.

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
