4d14d06fc docs: clarified systemd installation instructions in init.md for Ubuntu users. (DaveFromBinary)
Pull request description:
Added a note to init.md to clarify the .service copy path for Ubuntu because it differs from the described copy path.
Also noted which version of Ubuntu switched to systemd for the default system init to clarify when the systemd installation steps should be used instead of the upstart installation steps for Ubuntu users.

9b6454c Improve "Turn Windows Features On or Off" step (Ernest Hemingway)
Pull request description:
Originally, this readme suggests searching for 'turn' to open this dialog but this will not necessarily work on all windows 10 PCs. It's better to use the executable name instead, which is consistent across installations.

fabb72b contrib: Remove xpired 522739F6 key (MarcoFalke)
faeab66 contrib: Replace developer keys with list of pgp fingerprints (MarcoFalke)
Pull request description:
Having to host a copy of the keys in this repo was a common source of discussion and distraction, caused by problems such as:
* Outdated keys. Unclear whether and when to replace by fresh copies.
* Unclear when to add a key of a new developer or Gitian builder.
The problems are solved by
* Having no keys but only the fingerprints
* Adding a rule of thumb, when to add a new key
<strike>Moving the keys to a different repo solves none of these issues, but since the keys are not bound to releases or git branches of Bitcoin Core, they should live somewhere else.
Obviously, all keys are hosted and distributed on key servers, but were added to the repo solely for convenience and redundancy.
Moving the mirror of those keys to a different repo makes it less distracting to update them -- let's say -- prior to every major release.
I updated our `doc/release-process.md` to reflect the new location.

eeeb416 Remove suggestion to make cloned repository world-writable for Windows build. (murrayn)
Pull request description:
Current documentation for Windows build on Ubuntu suggests cloning the repository into /usr/src, as root, and making the tree world-writable(!). I can see no problem this solves, and it introduces obvious security issues.

Also warn if bitcoind is configured to use a relative -datadir path.
Specifying paths relative to the current working directory in a daemon process
can be dangerous, because files can fail to be located even if the
configuration doesn't change, but the daemon is started up differently.
Specifying a relative -datadir now adds a warning to the debug log. It would
not be backwards-compatible to forbid relative -datadir paths entirely, and it
could also be also inconvenient for command line testing.
Specifying a relative -walletdir now results in a startup error. But since the
-walletdir option is new in 0.16.0, there should be no compatibility issues.
Another reason not to use working directory paths for -walletdir specifically
is that the default -walletdir is a "wallets" subdirectory inside the datadir,
so it could be surprising that setting -walletdir manually would choose a
directory rooted in a completely different location.

6915f93 doc: Update OpenBSD build instructions for 6.2 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)
Pull request description:
(this continues #11442)
There is no more need to install a new compiler. This simplifies instructions a lot.
From discussion with @fanquake on IRC I first wanted to add a new section for 6.2, but that made the document a complex mess. I think it's good enough (and more maintainable too) to only support the most recent release.
Includes #11976.
I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.
