Merge #18514: test: remove rapidcheck integration and tests 
9e071b0089 test: remove rapidcheck integration and tests (fanquake)

Pull request description:

  Whilst the property tests are interesting, ultimately [rapidcheck](https://github.com/emil-e/rapidcheck) integration in this repository has not gained much traction. We have a limited number of tests, and they are rarely (if ever) run. Have discussed this with Chris Stewart.

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.
