doc: Remove recommendation to add old repos for libd4.8*

Browse source 
It is unreasonable to ask to change the global package configuration
just to build a package. Not only that, this is potentially harmful to the system.

Also do a few punctuation fixes in REST-interface.md.

Risks
-------------
Running a webbrowser on the same node with a REST enabled bitcoind can be a risk. Accessing prepared XSS websites could read out tx/block data of your node by placing links like `<script src="http://127.0.0.1:8332/rest/tx/1234567890.json">` which might break the nodes privacy.
