Merge #18157: doc: fixing init.md documentation to not require rpcpassword

Browse source 
a2a03c3ca9 fixing documentation to not require rpcpassword (“jkcd”)

Pull request description:

  Configuration section in [doc/init.md](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/master/doc/init.md) says user must set rpcpassword in order to run bitcoind. Since [71cbea](71cbeaad9a) fixed the code to use a cookie for authentication, it is not mandatory to set rpcpassword in the configuration.

  Fixes #16346

@ -20,9 +20,9 @@ The macOS configuration assumes bitcoind will be set up for the current user.
Configuration
---------------------------------
At a bare minimum, bitcoind requires that the rpcpassword setting be set
when running as a daemon. If the configuration file does not exist or this
setting is not set, bitcoind will shut down promptly after startup.
Running bitcoind as a daemon does not require any manual configuration. You may
set the `rpcauth` setting in the `bitcoin.conf` configuration file to override
the default behaviour of using a special cookie for authentication.
This password does not have to be remembered or typed as it is mostly used
as a fixed token that bitcoind and client programs read from the configuration
