f67b6fce3777ea8dfd23b3983d0b46a2f69d7d77 Update Arch Linux build example (Igor Bubelov)
Pull request description:
The current build example has two issues:
1. The claim that the wallet functionality will be missing is obsolete since Bitcoin Core can use SQLite, which is a hard dependency of `pacman` so we can assume that it's always present.
2. Installing package groups such as `base-devel` adds some friction and uncertainty by forcing readers to choose which packages they need, interactively. Listing required deps explicitly speeds up the whole process, makes it more transparent and cuts the number of installed packages.

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) orbin/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.
