eedc461882 Merge doc/unit-tests.md into src/test/README.md
Refer to the right file in the top-level README.md.

Having only one file with test documentation saves some confusion about
where things are documented.

fd46136dfa IBD check uses minimumchain work instead of checkpoints.
This introduces a 'minimum chain work' chainparam which is intended
 to be the known amount of work in the chain for the network at the
 time of software release.  If you don't have this much work, you're
 not yet caught up.

This is used instead of the count of blocks test from checkpoints.

This criteria is trivial to keep updated as there is no element of
subjectivity, trust, or position dependence to it. It is also a more
reliable metric of sync status than a block count.

3421e74601 Clarify listenonion
> 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.

7c1716f65d Documentation for Building on Windows with WSL
The new Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) allows a user to run a bash shell directly on Windows in an Ubuntu based environment.  This can be used to cross-compile Bitcoin directly on Windows without the need for a separate Linux VM or Server.  The instructions included in this commit explain how to configure the environment and build Bitcoin Core using this new feature.

04d91f4a8c Trivial: Fix ISO URL, capitalization
- Changed Debian 8.5.0 ISO CD ROM URL by redirecting from current (which now has only 8.6.0) to a persistent archive link which should not change anytime soon.
- Added a link to official Debian checksum verification procedure (which is more verbose and also acts as a backup source of SHA256sum's)
- Fix capitalization (iso)
