closes: #7756 # What does this pull request change? This pull request adds a new runbook for operators enountering errors related to the new Proposer-Based Timestamps algorithm. The goal of this runbook is to give operators a set of clear steps that they can follow if they are having issues producing blocks because of clock synchronization problems. This pull request also renames the `*PrevoteDelay` metrics to drop the term `MessageDelay`. These metrics provide a combined view of `message_delay` + `synchrony` so the name may be confusing. # Questions to reviewers * Are there ways to make the set of steps clearer or are there any pieces that seem confusing?

Tendermint
Welcome to the Tendermint Core documentation!
Tendermint Core is a blockchain application platform; it provides the equivalent of a web-server, database, and supporting libraries for blockchain applications written in any programming language. Like a web-server serving web applications, Tendermint serves blockchain applications.
More formally, Tendermint Core performs Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) State Machine Replication (SMR) for arbitrary deterministic, finite state machines. For more background, see What is Tendermint?.
To get started quickly with an example application, see the quick start guide.
To learn about application development on Tendermint, see the Application Blockchain Interface.
For more details on using Tendermint, see the respective documentation for Tendermint Core, benchmarking and monitoring, and network deployments.
