fa082b4ee0 doc: move gitian building to external repo
This reduces the overhead in the git repo due to binary blobs of
the png files.

Also, the documentation can be updated independent of any tags and
release cycles.

Pull request description:

  As @fanquake mentioned in #8639, this should probably be a file in `doc/`, so I went ahead and pulled the issue text via the github API and dumped it into a file. No modifications made, except one spelling fix. This makes the info easier to find, and it will get a proper version history, too.

ce3baa193 changed regtest RPCport to 18443 to avoid conflict with testnet 18332 (Ferdinando M. Ametrano)

Pull request description:

  using the same JSON-RPC default port for both testnet and regtest prevents running both at the same time on the same machine. Since RPCport=P2Pport-1 for both mainnet and testnet, and regtest P2Pport being 18444, 18443 is proposed for regtest RPCport

  Documentation has been updated (or created where missing); manpages doc/man/bitcoin*.1 could include information for regtest too

Merge #11050: Avoid treating null RPC arguments different from missing arguments
745d2e3 Clean up getbalance RPC parameter handling (Russell Yanofsky)
fd5d71e Update developer notes after params.size() cleanup (Russell Yanofsky)
e067673 Avoid treating null RPC arguments different from missing arguments (Russell Yanofsky)
e666efc Get rid of redundant RPC params.size() checks (Russell Yanofsky)

Pull request description:

  This is a followup to #10783.

  - The first commit doesn't change behavior at all, just simplifies code.
  - The second commit just changes RPC methods to treat null arguments the same as missing arguments instead of throwing type errors.
  - The third commit updates developer notes after the cleanup.
  - The forth commit does some additional code cleanup in `getbalance`.

  Followup changes that should happen in future PRs:

  - [ ] Replace uses of `.isTrue()` with calls to `.get_bool()` so numbers, objects, and strings cause type errors instead of being interpreted as false. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133850525
  - [ ] Add braces around if statements. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133851133
  - [ ] Maybe improve UniValue type error exceptions and eliminate RPCTypeCheck and RPCTypeCheckArgument functions. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/11050#discussion_r133829303
