Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#22485: doc: BaseIndex sync behavior with empty datadir
11780f29e7c3f50fb7717fc98950ece9385d314b doc: BaseIndex sync behavior with empty datadir (James O'Beirne) Pull request description: Make a note about a potentially confusing behavior with `BaseIndex::m_synced`; if the user starts bitcoind with an empty datadir and an index enabled, BaseIndex will consider itself synced (as a degenerate case). This affects how indices are built during IBD (relying solely on BlockConnected signals vs. using ThreadSync()).
