fabb95e7bf02f3d8e663a02dd845d42e09d330ec doc: add release note for 26899 (brunoerg)
c84c5f6e89094749f90d7b0994278e50689e04dc p2p: set `-dnsseed` and `-listen` false if `maxconnections=0` (brunoerg)
Pull request description:
If `maxconnections=0`, it means our possible connections are going to be manual (e.g via `addnode`). For this reason, we can skip DNS seeds and set `listen` false.

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.
