Merge #17393: doc: Added regtest config for linearize script

582e66b6e7 doc: Added regtest config for linearize script (Gr0kchain)

Pull request description:

  Updated the example-linearize.cfg file to include support for the regtest chain network config which is used by the ./linearize-data.py

  Problem:
  Without the regtest magic, genesis hash and path config, the `linearize-data.py` script cannot generate a bootstrap.dat file.

  Example:

  ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg
  Read 102 hashes
  Genesis block not found in hashlist

  Solution:

  Added netmagic, genesis and input example parameters to file.

  Resolution

  1. Starting bitcoind in regtest mode
  2. bitcoin-cli generatetoaddress 101 $(bitcoin-cli getnewaddress)
  3. ./linearize-hashes.py ./linearize.cfg > ./hashlist.txt
  4. ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg

  ```
  $ ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg
  Read 102 hashes
  Input file /Users/gr0kchain/.bitcoin/regtest/blocks/blk00000.dat
  Output file /Users/gr0kchain/Downloads/bootstrap.dat
  Done (102 blocks written)
  ```
