b941dec0a975d441fe08117e84d72aca4c5731bc docs: update `/rest/chaininfo` doc referring to RPC help (brunoerg)

Pull request description:

  Internally, `/rest/chaininfo` gets the infos from `getblockchaininfo` and I just realized the documentation of it in `REST-interface.md` is outdated compared to the `getblockchaininfo` RPC one. This PR removes the documentation of the fields and adds a reference to the RPC help.

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.
