This adds a guide to upgrading (or not upgrading) to segwit for miners, node operators, wallet users, and Bitcoin devs.

  • A link to this guide is added to the FAQ menu.
  • A link is not added to the main page, as it seems like we'll be adding a link there soon enough for the 0.13.1 release.
  • All Markdown reference-style links to this document are defined, as verified by searching the rendered document for the string ][ that is indicative of an undefined link.
  • It is expected that the release blog for 0.13.1 will link to this document; however, I think it is safe to merge this document prior to the release if everyone is ok with it's content (which is why it's in a separate PR from the upcoming PR for the release blog).

Several people provided suggestions on this in draft form, for which I am very grateful. Any errors that appear in this version are entirely my fault.

ACK 290d0c4. Also possibly consider adding a link to /en/2016/01/26/segwit-benefits/. Looking good.

Converted to a blog post, makes it more accessible. Agree with @kanzure to add link to segwit benefits.
