Michael Vines 4ada4d43f2 Drop the recommendation that --expected-shred-version be set by validators
`--expected-shred-version` is another knob for users to get wrong and is
documentation that can get stale due to cluster restarts.  Turns out
it's also generally not required anymore either because:
1. The cluster entrypoint can always be expected to be using the correct
   shred version, and that shred version will be adopted by the new node
   (earlier this was not the case when the `solana-gossip spy` node on
   mainnet-beta.solana.com:8001 ran with shred version 0)
2. On a cluster restart, `--expected-bank-hash` is a much stronger
   assertion that the validator is starting from the correct place (and
   didn't exist when `--expected-shred-version` was first recommended)
