2896c6c4cc6d382d8369c037e274c08dd8e32c69 doc: update addnode rpc help (Jon Atack)
Pull request description:
Since #9319 proposed by Gregory Maxwell and released in v0.14, peers manually added through the `-addnode` config option or using the `addnode` RPC have their own separate limit of 8 connections that does not compete with other inbound or outbound connection usage and is not subject to the limitation imposed by the `-maxconnections` option.
This PR updates the `-addnode` and `-maxconnections` config options and the `addnode` RPC help docs with this information.
`-addnode` config option help
```
$ bitcoind -h | grep -A5 addnode=
-addnode=<ip>
Add a node to connect to and attempt to keep the connection open (see
the addnode RPC help for more info). This option can be specified
multiple times to add multiple nodes; connections are limited to
8 at a time and are counted separately from the -maxconnections
limit.
$ bitcoind -h | grep -A3 maxconnections=
-maxconnections=<n>
Maintain at most <n> connections to peers (default: 125). This limit
does not apply to connections manually added via -addnode or the
addnode RPC, which have a separate limit of 8.
```
`addnode` rpc help
```
$ bitcoin-cli help addnode
addnode "node" "command"
Attempts to add or remove a node from the addnode list.
Or try a connection to a node once.
Nodes added using addnode (or -connect) are protected from DoS disconnection and are not required to be
full nodes/support SegWit as other outbound peers are (though such peers will not be synced from).
Addnode connections are limited to 8 at a time and are counted separately from the -maxconnections limit.
