doc: Added default signet config for linearize script #20015

   Updated the example-linearize.cfg file to include support for the signet chain network config which is used by the ./linearize-data.py

   Problem: Without the signet magic, genesis hash and path config, the linearize-data.py script cannot generate a bootstrap.dat file.

   Example:

   ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg
   Read 4776 hashes
   Genesis block not found in hashlist
   

   Solution:

   Added netmagic, genesis and input example parameters to file. Netmagic in terms of signet is derived from the signet-challenge and not static as with other networks. The provided signet magic is based on the default public signet.

   Resolution

   ./linearize-hashes.py ./linearize.cfg > ./hashlist.txt
   ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg
   $ ./linearize-data.py ./linearize.cfg
   Read 4776 hashes
   Input file /Users/gr0kchain/.bitcoin/signet/blocks/blk00000.dat
   Output file /Users/gr0kchain/Downloads/bootstrap.dat
   1000 blocks scanned, 1000 blocks written (of 4776, 20.9% complete)
   2000 blocks scanned, 2000 blocks written (of 4776, 41.9% complete)
   3011 blocks scanned, 3000 blocks written (of 4776, 62.8% complete)
   4010 blocks scanned, 4000 blocks written (of 4776, 83.8% complete)
   Done (4776 blocks written)
