cmake: Install `bitcoin` manpage
What changed, and why it matters
This commit is a harmless build-system fix. It tells the CMake installer to also include the manual page (help documentation) for the main `bitcoin` command-line program when installing Bitcoin Core. There is no security issue.
No action required; this is a benign build/installation metadata change.
Security signals we found
No strong security signals were identified.
Evidence from the diff
The change modifies src/CMakeLists.txt so that install_binary_component(bitcoin) is called with the HAS_MANPAGE flag. This only affects packaging/installation metadata and causes the bitcoin.1 manpage to be installed alongside the bitcoin binary. It does not alter executable code, permissions, network behavior, or cryptographic logic.
