Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#30992: doc: update IBD requirements in doc/README.md
36a6d4b0078ebb39ed082c866bf49214a2a01241 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 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.
