Merge bitcoin#18157: doc: fixing init.md documentation to not require rpcpassword
a2a03c3 fixing documentation to not require rpcpassword (“jkcd”) Pull request description: Configuration section in [doc/init.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/init.md) says user must set rpcpassword in order to run bitcoind. Since [71cbea](bitcoin@71cbeaa) fixed the code to use a cookie for authentication, it is not mandatory to set rpcpassword in the configuration. Fixes bitcoin#16346 ACKs for top commit: hebasto: ACK a2a03c3, modulo nit Tree-SHA512: a62816fef78bed32200bb278cfc7aacf6ea154a60fdf5181927e48b806a1bd694bdf3ccec8362f5e58aad694d636c63f540323d54d85b61deaa417b95b8b56eb

At a bare minimum, dashd requires that the rpcpassword setting be set
24-
when running as a daemon. If the configuration file does not exist or this
25-
setting is not set, dashd will shut down promptly after startup.

Running dashd as a daemon does not require any manual configuration. You may
24+
set the `rpcauth` setting in the `dash.conf` configuration file to override
25+
the default behaviour of using a special cookie for authentication.

This password does not have to be remembered or typed as it is mostly used

as a fixed token that dashd and client programs read from the configuration
