replaced LN with Lightning in specific instance (#266)
- when I read this I thought twice that someone is trying to abbreviate "Lightning Node" with "LN". 
- only on 3rd reading I realized that as usual "LN" stands for "Lightning Network" and the word "node" follows 3 words later
- anyway, to avoid confusion it should be replaced

- "Lightning Invoice" was already used in text, this fixes also the inconsistency

change wallet categories into wallet quadrant (#213)
* change wallet categories into wallet quadrant

The original categorization was not perfect. It was not ideal. It was sort of misleading. It sort of implies that a "Full Node & Wallet" is not a "Non-Custodial Wallet" because they are 2 different categories. It also states that a "Non-Custodial Wallet" uses "3rd-party node" for LN Node which is not the true definition.Things were getting mixed up here and we are not communicating a clear message.

The term "Custodial Wallet" is independent of which LN Node is used.
We should rethink this table and categorization.

I wrote an Issue about it #176 .

The Quadrant seems to be more useful and certainly more accurate.

Then I explained the terms "Lightweight" and "Node" because these terms were suddenly used, out of nowhere with no explanation.

* various improvements

- Following suggestions from  @Roasbeef 
- worked in his commentaries, ideas
- also added a bit more details

* added BIPs to Neutrino

clarifications and additions (#173)
* clarifiactions and additions

some modifications to improve, clarify

some additions to add more details where appropriate

... lightweight Bitcoin client (commonly referred to as Simplified Payment Verification (SPV)) to partially validate the correctness of their blockchain. --> partially? Probably you mean "indirectly" as you delegate to a third party. Also SPVs clients don't have a blockchain, so why "their blockchain"? --> to reduce this confusion --> lightweight Bitcoin client (commonly referred to as Simplified Payment Verification (SPV)) to interact with the blockchain

... lightning wallets ... --> ... Lightning wallets ...

centralized and added more details to definition of non-custodial wallet

* Update 02_getting_started.asciidoc

added the sentince back in
