Subject: [PATCH] Correct rpc example command syntax

Several of the steps in the README for example_bitcoind_rpc_polling
don't work as written. The most important was at the start, there is
a missing "init" command that otherwise gives a file error. Also the
specification of regtest network needed is a bit different than what
is written.
