Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#30992: doc: update IBD requirements in doc/README.md
36a6d4b007 doc: update IBD requirements in doc/README.md (Mackain)

Pull request description:

  A small change to the first paragraph of the Setup part of the README that has been bugging me for a while.
  The disk space required for the Bitcoin transactions can no longer be described as "a few" hundred gigabytes.
  So I thought it was time it was changed to "several" instead.

  *** Please remove the following help text before submitting: ***

  Pull requests without a rationale and clear improvement may be closed
  immediately.

  GUI-related pull requests should be opened against
  https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui
  first. See CONTRIBUTING.md

  <!--
  Please provide clear motivation for your patch and explain how it improves
  Bitcoin Core user experience or Bitcoin Core developer experience
  significantly:

  * Any test improvements or new tests that improve coverage are always welcome.
  * All other changes should have accompanying unit tests (see `src/test/`) or
    functional tests (see `test/`). Contributors should note which tests cover
    modified code. If no tests exist for a region of modified code, new tests
    should accompany the change.
  * Bug fixes are most welcome when they come with steps to reproduce or an
    explanation of the potential issue as well as reasoning for the way the bug
    was fixed.
  * Features are welcome, but might be rejected due to design or scope issues.
    If a feature is based on a lot of dependencies, contributors should first
    consider building the system outside of Bitcoin Core, if possible.
  * Refactoring changes are only accepted if they are required for a feature or
    bug fix or otherwise improve developer experience significantly. For example,
    most "code style" refactoring changes require a thorough explanation why they
    are useful, what downsides they have and why they *significantly* improve
    developer experience or avoid serious programming bugs. Note that code style
    is often a subjective matter. Unless they are explicitly mentioned to be
    preferred in the [developer notes](/doc/developer-notes.md), stylistic code
    changes are usually rejected.

  <!--
  Bitcoin Core has a thorough review process and even the most trivial change
  needs to pass a lot of eyes and requires non-zero or even substantial time
  effort to review. There is a huge lack of active reviewers on the project, so
  patches often sit for a long time.

For an immediately usable, binary version of the Bitcoin Core software, see https://bitcoincore.org/en/download/.

What is Bitcoin Core?

Bitcoin Core connects to the Bitcoin peer-to-peer network to download and fully validate blocks and transactions. It also includes a wallet and graphical user interface, which can be optionally built.

Further information about Bitcoin Core is available in the doc folder.

License

Bitcoin Core is released under the terms of the MIT license. See COPYING for more information or see https://opensource.org/licenses/MIT.

Development Process

The master branch is regularly built (see doc/build-*.md for instructions) and tested, but it is not guaranteed to be completely stable. Tags are created regularly from release branches to indicate new official, stable release versions of Bitcoin Core.

The https://github.com/bitcoin-core/gui repository is used exclusively for the development of the GUI. Its master branch is identical in all monotree repositories. Release branches and tags do not exist, so please do not fork that repository unless it is for development reasons.

The contribution workflow is described in CONTRIBUTING.md and useful hints for developers can be found in doc/developer-notes.md.

Testing

Testing and code review is the bottleneck for development; we get more pull requests than we can review and test on short notice. Please be patient and help out by testing other people's pull requests, and remember this is a security-critical project where any mistake might cost people lots of money.

Automated Testing

Developers are strongly encouraged to write unit tests for new code, and to submit new unit tests for old code. Unit tests can be compiled and run (assuming they weren't disabled during the generation of the build system) with: ctest. Further details on running and extending unit tests can be found in /src/test/README.md.

There are also regression and integration tests, written in Python. These tests can be run (if the test dependencies are installed) with: test/functional/test_runner.py

The CI (Continuous Integration) systems make sure that every pull request is built for Windows, Linux, and macOS, and that unit/sanity tests are run automatically.

Manual Quality Assurance (QA) Testing

Changes should be tested by somebody other than the developer who wrote the code. This is especially important for large or high-risk changes. It is useful to add a test plan to the pull request description if testing the changes is not straightforward.

Translations

Changes to translations as well as new translations can be submitted to Bitcoin Core's Transifex page.

Translations are periodically pulled from Transifex and merged into the git repository. See the translation process for details on how this works.

Important: We do not accept translation changes as GitHub pull requests because the next pull from Transifex would automatically overwrite them again.
