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 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. --> ACKs for top commit: achow101: ACK 36a6d4b0078ebb39ed082c866bf49214a2a01241 danielabrozzoni: ACK 36a6d4b0078ebb39ed082c866bf49214a2a01241 jonatack: ACK 36a6d4b0078ebb39ed082c866bf49214a2a01241 ismaelsadeeq: ACK 36a6d4b0078ebb39ed082c866bf49214a2a01241 tdb3: ACK 36a6d4b0078ebb39ed082c866bf49214a2a01241 itornaza: ACK 36a6d4b0078ebb39ed082c866bf49214a2a01241 Tree-SHA512: c5b21aca526c0ebe5f3234bd72e4080dc64cbba0ccd2306397aafe8349bc3573773ee64ff31fafcf59ea1afc7527caaf6d7cd8fe798311d9dc11ad0cd539e21e

-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.
