bebcf785c080df9273e03b854832ba3dbd4320ec Update i2p.md and tor.md regarding -onlynet config option (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
This pull addresses https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22634#issuecomment-894104681 and various user feedback/questions, updates the -onlynet documentation in doc/i2p.md and doc/tor.md per #22651 (src/init.cpp is already fine) and fills in some missing I2P unit test coverage.
Note: this PR depends in part on whether #22651 is merged in order to propose the correct -onlynet documentation (it is currently aligned with the change in #22651), so that PR should be decided or merged first.

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.
