William Banfield dc0e04d243 rename configuration parameters to use the new blocksync nomenclature (#6896)
The 0.35 release cycle renamed the 'fastsync' functionality to 'blocksync'. This change brings the configuration parameters in line with that change. Namely, it updates the configuration file `[fastsync]` field to be `[blocksync]` and changes the command line flag and config file parameters `--fast-sync` and `fast-sync` to `--enable-block-sync` and `enable-block-sync` respectively.

Error messages were added to help users encountering these changes be able to quickly make the needed update to their files/scripts.

When using the old command line argument for fast-sync, the following is printed

```
./build/tendermint start --proxy-app=kvstore --consensus.create-empty-blocks=false --fast-sync=false
ERROR: invalid argument "false" for "--fast-sync" flag: --fast-sync has been deprecated, please use --enable-block-sync
```

When using one of the old config file parameters, the following is printed:
```
./build/tendermint start --proxy-app=kvstore --consensus.create-empty-blocks=false
ERROR: error in config file: a configuration parameter named 'fast-sync' was found in the configuration file. The 'fast-sync' parameter has been renamed to 'enable-block-sync', please update the 'fast-sync' field in your configuration file to 'enable-block-sync'

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.
