Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22317: doc: Highlight DNS requests part in tor.md
86a4a15bdcc96eb565ab80166642d71d542061a9 Highlight DNS request part (Prayank) Pull request description: _What?_ Highlight DNS requests part in Proxy section _Why?_ 1. DNS requests are very important while considering privacy 2. Lot of users might skip reading it because of the way it is mixed with everything else in the doc right now 3. I have seen lot of users ignoring DNS requests or unaware of such things while using privacy tools _How?_ Initially I had tried keeping these lines separate from code block but [Jonatack didn't agree with the changes](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21157#discussion_r618177116). Harding suggested using [bold/italic in `<pre></pre>`](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21157#discussion_r644364143). I have used the suggestions from previous PR and added `---` This is a part of alternative described in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22316 ACKs for top commit: jonatack: ACK 86a4a15bdcc96eb565ab80166642d71d542061a9 Rspigler: ACK 86a4a15bdcc96eb565ab80166642d71d542061a9 achow101: ACK 86a4a15bdcc96eb565ab80166642d71d542061a9 RiccardoMasutti: ACK 86a4a15 lsilva01: ACK https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22317/commits/86a4a15bdcc96eb565ab80166642d71d542061a9 kristapsk: ACK 86a4a15bdcc96eb565ab80166642d71d542061a9 theStack: ACK 86a4a15bdcc96eb565ab80166642d71d542061a9 Tree-SHA512: a4fe0e8c08df330e5ca78ce19ce74be7034c653f4374469d928908847a6debf385283e3a6da66de600566c7bab6290ccd35df26864aef94cbb3f294123391437

-onion=ip:port Set the proxy server to use for Tor onion services. You do not
need to set this if it's the same as -proxy. You can use -onion=0
