Upgrading from gaia-6002 to gaia-7000

There was a change in the format of the ~/.gaiad/config/priv_key.json in the latest release of Tendermint core (through go-amino).

To switch your key to the new format you will need to change three type fields from random strings to human readable names. The following fields need to be changed:

.pub_key.type        -> tendermint/PubKeyEd25519
.last_signature.type -> tendermint/SignatureEd25519
.priv_key.type       -> tendermint/PrivKeyEd25519

Examples of new and old files are below:
