562304b4cf CH02::pluralization: update to follow standard conventions 
Existing text used "bitcoin" as both the singular and plural unit, which
was not an uncommon practice when the first edition was written.
However, my edits to the first chapter and this update adopt the
practice of using the same pluralization rules used for other
currencies, like the dollar, plus most numbered things in general.
This produces more natural text.

parties.

be0ab0c6c5 CH02::intro: remove statements that Bitcoin requires trust 
Users operating a full node don't need to trust anyone else for certain
guarantees about the system, although they do need at least one honest
peer to obtain some other guarantees.  Clarify this in the text by
revising text about text and emergent properties.

2f0d7d8c3a Revert CC-BY-SA material added since the second edition 
The commit ab5ae32bae is the last commit
for the second edition, so all changes since then are dropped except for
several commits for the third edition authored by Andreas Antonopoulos.

No attempt is made to remove CC-BY-SA or other licensed content present
in the already-published first or second editions.

This revert may itself be reverted for versions of the book published
under CC-BY-SA.

ch.02: Let us not be too assuming about the gender of "each miner" 
It is too assuming to suppose that the gender of "each miner" is masculine. Hence I propose to use [singular they](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they). More on singular they [here](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/use-the-singular-they/).
'He' was substituted with 'they' only when it refers to "each miner", i.e. miners in general, and not when it refers to Jing. In the latter case I have left he unchanged.
