Simplify command structure

[cwgoes]

• Remove tendermint distinction, except for tendermint-validator-set
• Instead of current subcommand structure, split into query and tx
• Ensure that simple transaction queries ("what did I last send") are easy

improving the CLI is definitely captured in other issues

[rigelrozanski]

Are the points which @cwgoes brought up addressed though? Not as far as I can tell going through the CLI - if anything we should discuss this issue or link it to the duplicate issues before closing.

Alternatively we could break this up into multiple issues. going to reopen.

"rather an addressed issue stay accidentally open than an unaddressed issue be accidentally closed."

Happy to pick this up. @cwgoes @rigelrozanski do you reckon we need to break this down into multiple issues?

@alessio Agreed with all suggestions, let's make sure gaiacli help tx and gaiacli tx --help show the same thing.
