Merge bitcoin/bitcoin#27937: doc: i2p documentation updates 
11900e5a8a doc: simplify the router options in doc/i2p.md (Jon Atack)
b505d59326 doc: clarify when and how to launch the SAM bridge in doc/i2p.md (Jon Atack)

Pull request description:

  1. Clarify when and how to launch the SAM application bridge to address user questions and https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/22759#issuecomment-1599449753. The bridge is not enabled by default in the Java I2P Router, and the relevant info is somewhat difficult to find in its documentation.

  2. Remove a duplicate sentence and link (the preceding paragraph begins with the same sentence and link).

  3. Simplify the router options:

      - the Java I2P router and i2pd are the two routers have been heavily tested with Bitcoin Core and are what node operators and node software packages are using

      - [i2p-zero](https://github.com/i2p-zero/i2p-zero) hasn't been updated since July 2021 and its last release was in December 2020

      - the other routers in the wikipedia page are niche and I haven't heard anyone report using them

Bitcoin Core

Setup

Bitcoin Core is the original Bitcoin client and it builds the backbone of the network. It downloads and, by default, stores the entire history of Bitcoin transactions, which requires a few hundred gigabytes of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to a day or more.

To download Bitcoin Core, visit bitcoincore.org.

Running

The following are some helpful notes on how to run Bitcoin Core on your native platform.

Unix

Unpack the files into a directory and run:

  • bin/bitcoin-qt (GUI) or
  • bin/bitcoind (headless)

Windows

Unpack the files into a directory, and then run bitcoin-qt.exe.

macOS

Drag Bitcoin Core to your applications folder, and then run Bitcoin Core.
