6915f93 doc: Update OpenBSD build instructions for 6.2 (Wladimir J. van der Laan)

Pull request description:

  (this continues #11442)
  There is no more need to install a new compiler. This simplifies instructions a lot.

  From discussion with @fanquake on IRC I first wanted to add a new section for 6.2, but that made the document a complex mess. I think it's good enough (and more maintainable too) to only support the most recent release.

  Includes #11976.

  I moved the "resource limits" section to the end as I didn't seem to need it with clang, but this may vary based on source changes and the phase of the moon so it's good to keep it as optional extra information.

GCC **Important**: From OpenBSD 6.2 onwards a C++11-supporting clang compiler is
------- part of the base image, and while building it is necessary to make sure that this
compiler is used and not ancient g++ 4.2.1. This is done by appending
The default C++ compiler that comes with OpenBSD 6.2 is g++ 4.2.1. This version is old (from 2007), and is not able to compile the current version of Bitcoin Core because it has no C++11 support. We'll install a newer version of GCC: `CC=cc CXX=c++` to configuration commands. Mixing different compilers
within the same executable will result in linker errors.
```bash
pkg_add g++
```
This compiler will not overwrite the system compiler, it will be installed as `egcc` and `eg++` in `/usr/local/bin`.

The standard ulimit restrictions in OpenBSD are very strict:

at least with GCC 4.9.4 (see issue [#6658](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues/6658)). export BDB_PREFIX="$PWD/db4"
If your user is in the `staff` group the limit can be raised with: ```
ulimit -d 3000000
The change will only affect the current shell and processes spawned by it. To
make the change system-wide, change `datasize-cur` and `datasize-max` in
`/etc/login.conf`, and reboot.
