change bypass-min-fee-types parsing; change defaults

 * 
 * (feat) Add two more msg types `/ibc.core.channel.v1.MsgTimeout` and `/ibc.core.channel.v1.MsgTimeoutOnClose` to default `bypass-min-fee-msg-types`.
 * (feat) Change the bypassing gas usage criteria. Instead of requiring 200,000 gas per `bypass-min-fee-msg`, we will now allow a maximum total usage of 1,000,000 gas for all bypassed messages in a transaction. Note that all messages in the transaction must be the `bypass-min-fee-msg-types` for the bypass min fee to take effect, otherwise, fee payment will still apply.
+* (fix) [#2087](https://github.com/cosmos/gaia/issues/2087) Fix `bypass-min-fee-msg-types` parsing in `app.toml`. Parsing of `bypass-min-fee-types` is changed to allow node operators to use empty bypass list. Removing the `bypass-min-fee-types` from `app.toml` applies the default message types. See [#2092]( https://github.com/cosmos/gaia/pull/2092) for details.
