2020-12-07[doc] Tidy up Tor doc (more stringent)wodry
This is a follow up to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19638 that left some deprectaed "hidden service/server" naming occurences. It also shall make the chapter titles regarding creation of onion services stringent and easy to read and distinguish. It removes the one and only reference to the testnet (here the testnet onion service port), as it is not explained that it references to the testnet and I do not know why it is mentioned there. It is only confusing. Also, as said, the testnet is not referenced at any other place in this document.

For a couple of years, Tor documentation has made the term hidden service obsolete, in favor of onion service. This PR updates all the references in the code base.

2018-04-05doc: Use bitcoind in Tor documentationIndospace.io
2016-10-24Clarify `listenonion`unsystemizer
> This new feature is enabled by default if Bitcoin Core is listening, and a connection to Tor can be made. It can be configured with the -listenonion, -torcontrol and -torpassword settings. To show verbose debugging information, pass -debug=tor. But it is correct to say that the feature is enabled *regardless* of whether a connection to Tor can be made. I propose to clarify that so that users can eliminate these in their logs (when `listen=1` and no Tor). And I think it's okay to clarify about the `listen` option, because on several occasions when I read this before I always assumed `listening` meant `server=1` which cost me a lot of time in troubleshooting. ``` 2016-10-24 06:19:22.551029 tor: Error connecting to Tor control socket 2016-10-24 06:19:22.551700 tor: Not connected to Tor control port 127.0.0.1:9051, trying to reconnect ``` ### What version of bitcoin-core are you using? 0.12.1

2013-10-14[doc] Add testnet hidden service port to the example tor config.Gregory Maxwell
Seems like there are a lot of advertised testnet HS nodes that don't actually work. Lack of the testnet port on the example HS config might be one reason.
2013-09-08Rename -tor to -onion to better reflect what it does.Gregory Maxwell
I've seen users confused multiple times thinking they should be using -tor to set their tor proxy and then finding in horror that they were still connecting to the IPv4 internet. Even Jeff guesses wrong about what the knob does, so I think we should rename it. This leaves the old knob working, we can pull it out completely in a later release.
