abci: remove lock protecting calls to the application interface (#7984)

Closes #7073

As part of the 0.36 cycle we've discussed and decided to remove the mutex in tendermint that protects the ABCI application. First, applications should be able to be responsible for their own concurrency control, and can make more fine-grained decisions about concurrent use than tendermint ever could. Second, I've observed in recent weeks as we've been making this change that the mutex wasn't applied particularly consistently in many cases (e.g. multiple "local" connections to the application had multiple locks, etc.) so this will give more consistent experiences across ABCI execution environments, and simplifies the tendermint ABCI handling code.

This guide provides instructions for upgrading to specific versions of Tendermint Core.
## v0.36
### ABCI Changes
#### ABCI++
Coming soon...
#### ABCI Mutex
In previous versions of ABCI, Tendermint was prevented from making
concurrent calls to ABCI implementations by virtue of mutexes in the
implementation of Tendermint's ABCI infrastructure. These mutexes have
been removed from the current implementation and applications will now
be responsible for managing their own concurrency control.
To replicate the prior semantics, ensure that ABCI applications have a
single mutex that protects all ABCI method calls from concurrent
access. You can relax these requirements if your application can
provide safe concurrent access via other means. This safety is an
application concern so be very sure to test the application thoroughly
using realistic workloads and the race detector to ensure your
applications remains correct.

ABCI methods as no-ops, leaving them empty.)
