Update -blocksonly documentation

Browse source 
When -blocksonly is set to 1, it interacts with the -walletbroadcast
parameter and sets it to 0 if it has not been set already.This behavior
is not captured by the current documentation, which claims that -blocksonly
does not impact any wallet transactions.

Update the max number of outgoing peers from 8 to 10, due to the
addition of two -blocksonly peers.

Some node operators need to deal with bandwidth caps imposed by their ISPs.

Disabling listening will result in fewer nodes connected (remember the maximum of 10
outbound peers). Fewer nodes will result in less traffic usage as you are relaying
blocks and transactions to fewer nodes.

Be reminded of the effects of this setting.
- Fee estimation will no longer work.
- Not relaying other's transactions could hurt your privacy if used while a
wallet is loaded or if you use the node to broadcast transactions.
- It sets the flag "-walletbroadcast" to be "0", only if it is currently unset.
Doing so disables the automatic broadcasting of transactions from wallet. Not
relaying other's transactions could hurt your privacy if used while a wallet
is loaded or if you use the node to broadcast transactions.
- If a peer is whitelisted and "-whitelistforcerelay" is set to "1" (which will
also set "whitelistrelay" to "1"), we will still receive and relay their transactions.
- It makes block propagation slower because compact block relay can only be
used when transaction relay is enabled.
