Manual upgrades

Upgrade Node by manually swapping the upgrade binary (without cosmovisor)

1. Wait for persistenceCore to reach the upgrade height.

2. Look for a panic message, followed by endless peer logs, then stop the daemon.

3. Run the following commands:

   # ensure you replace `BINARY_VERSION` with the appropriate upgrade version
   cd $HOME/persistenceCore
   git pull
   git checkout BINARY_VERSION # replace with the binary version
   mkdir bin
   make build
   cp bin/persistenceCore <destination-binary> # destination binary SHOULD be at "~/go/bin/persistenceCore"

4. Start the persistenceCore daemon again, watch the upgrade happen, and then continue to hit blocks.
