By default, for mainnet, the p2p listening port is 8333. Bitcoin Core
has a strong preference for only connecting to nodes that listen on that
port.
Remove that preference because connections over clearnet that involve
port 8333 make it easy to detect, analyze, block or divert Bitcoin p2p
traffic before the connection is even established (at TCP SYN time).
For further justification see the OP of:

1ef2c03452 Add multisig tutorial (lsilva01)
Pull request description:
This PR adds a mutisig tutorial, as requested in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/21278
Although there is already a brief explanation and a functional test about the multisig implemented in https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/22067, this tutorial proposes to use the signet (instead of regtest), bringing the reader closer to a real environment and explaining some functions in more detail.
I'm not sure if this format should be in this repository or on some wiki page. But as there is an open issue regarding this matter, that is my suggestion.

Removed mention of storage requirement
Agreeing with @laanwj that this mention of the storage requirement could be removed, I did so and changed the wording accordingly.
Would be nice to be able to add a link to a canonical source that is always updated, for those who want a number.

Refer to the right file in the top-level README.md.
Having only one file with test documentation saves some confusion about
where things are documented.
* Minor formatting such as adjusting links
* Move sections of `doc/multiwallet-qt.md` to the source code and delete
the file, as it is outdated
* Fix typo in the release notes
* Amend release process to mention update of BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE
