9f36962b07eff2369577a17c8adeaa0433697e1c policy: uncap datacarrier by default (Greg Sanders)
Pull request description:
Retains the `-datacarrier*` args, marks them as deprecated, and does not require another startup argument for multiple OP_RETURN outputs.
If a user has set `-datacarriersize` the value is "budgeted" across all seen OP_RETURN output scriptPubKeys. In other words the total script bytes stays the same, but can be spread across any number of outputs. This is done to not introduce an additional argument to support multiple outputs.
I do not advise people use the option with custom arguments and it is marked as deprecated to not mislead as a promise to offer it forever. The argument itself can be removed in some future release to clean up the code and minimize footguns for users.

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 several hundred gigabytes or more of disk space. Depending on the speed of your computer and network connection, the synchronization process can take anywhere from a few hours to several days 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) orbin/bitcoind(headless)bin/bitcoin(wrapper command)
The bitcoin command supports subcommands like bitcoin gui, bitcoin node, and bitcoin rpc exposing different functionality. Subcommands can be listed with bitcoin help.
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.
