    Suggested by ismaelsadeeq in #29415.

    Creates doc/privacy.md as a single home for Bitcoin Core's privacy tools for transaction broadcasting and network connectivity.

    • Commit 1: Move the "Privacy recommendations" sections from doc/tor.md and doc/i2p.md into privacy.md, replacing them with pointers. The two files contained the same multi-network unlinkability warning duplicated verbatim; this consolidation removes the duplication. No content changes.

    • Commit 2: Add a "Transaction broadcasting privacy" section documenting -privatebroadcast, its prerequisites (Tor or I2P), current scope (sendrawtransaction only, with a link to the tracking issue for planned wallet-level support), and the related RPCs (getprivatebroadcastinfo, abortprivatebroadcast).

  2. doc: Extract network privacy recommendations into doc/privacy.md
    Move the "Privacy recommendations" sections from doc/tor.md and
    doc/i2p.md into a new doc/privacy.md, replacing them with pointers.
    The two files contained overlapping advice (the multi-network
    unlinkability warning was duplicated verbatim); consolidating them
    removes the duplication and gives privacy guidance a single home.
    
    No behaviour changes; this is a pure documentation refactor.

  3. doc: Document -privatebroadcast option in doc/privacy.md
    Add a "Transaction broadcasting privacy" section explaining how
    -privatebroadcast works, its prerequisites (Tor or I2P), current scope
    (sendrawtransaction only, with a link to the tracking issue for
    planned wallet-level support), and the two related RPCs
    (getprivatebroadcastinfo, abortprivatebroadcast).
    
    Update the pointers in doc/tor.md and doc/i2p.md to mention private
    transaction broadcasting.
