Merge #20587: [doc] Tidy up Tor doc (more stringent)

32045bbfd5 [doc] Tidy up Tor doc (more stringent) (wodry)

Pull request description:

  This is a follow up to https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/19638 that left two deprecated "hidden service/server" naming occurences.

  It also shall make the chapter titles regarding creation of onion services stringent and easy to read and distinguish.

  It removes the one and only reference to the testnet (here the testnet onion service port), as it is not explained that it references to the testnet and I do not know why it is mentioned there. It is only confusing. Also, as said, the testnet is not referenced at any other place in this document.
