The doc/policy/ directory documents mempool policy but had no reference
for transaction standardness rules. This adds standardness.md covering
the checks in IsStandardTx(), AreInputsStandard(), IsWitnessStandard(),
and mempool acceptance, along with a table of configurable relay options.
Also improves the -datacarriersize help text in init.cpp to mention
the pre-v30.0 default of 83, making it easier for operators to restore
the previous OP_RETURN relay behavior.

Add doc/policy/standardness.md documenting the transaction standardness
rules enforced during relay and mining. This covers transaction-level,
output-level, and input-level checks, along with a table of configurable
relay options (-datacarrier, -datacarriersize, -permitbaremultisig,
-dustrelayfee, -bytespersigop).
Also update the -datacarriersize help text to mention that setting it to
83 restores the pre-v30.0 behavior.
This reads llm generated. I don’t think it is acceptable in its current form (there’s a bunch of options and rules missing and some of the explanations lack precision) and not sure if reviewers want to invest the time for polishing this.
The additional help text in init.cpp is also not useful in my opinion.
That said, some of the things mentioned here could indeed be part of such a document, but I would prefer somebody with more experience with policy write it.
