d3e9a1c71bef1d730b5820f85e9758af54267ac3 doc: update for NetBSD 9.2, add GUI Build Instructions (Jarol Rodriguez)
Pull request description:
**For reviewer:** as I suppose few have a NetBSD system available, I wrote a [guide](https://gist.github.com/jarolrod/385dc063bb02c90aea0cbe8a147fc418#file-netbsd-vm-setup-guide-md) to setup a VM for testing purposes.
This attempts to update the NetBSD docs so one can successfully build on the latest release. It also adds instructions to build the GUI.
Additionally, it includes a note and an example on how one could update the gcc version bundled with NetBSD 9.2 and prior to be able to actually compile. This note can be updated with the release of NetBSD 10, as it will package an acceptable gcc version.

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.
