Pull request description:
This PR picks up #26088 by aureleoules which adds a bitcoind launch option `-rpccookieperms` to set the file permissions of the cookie generated by bitcoin core.
Example usage to make the generated cookie group-readable: `./src/bitcoind -rpccookieperms=group`.
Accepted values for `-rpccookieperms` are `[owner|group|all]`. We let `fs::perms` handle platform-specific permissions changes.

Code review ACK 73f0a6cbd0. Main change since last review is no longer throwing a skip exception in the rpc test on windows, so other checks can run after it, and overall test result is passing, not skipped. Also were clarifying renames and documentation improvements.

The bitcoin user needs read access to the configuration file, but write
access is not needed. It is not considered best practice to make
configuration directories and files owned by the services reading them.
Added a note to init.md to clarify the .service copy path for newer versions of Ubuntu because it differs from the described copy path.
Also noted what version of Ubuntu switched to systemd for the default system init.
