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

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
