Releasing client software with updated parameters and giving a time for users to upgrade their nodes is going to be default strategy to accelerate the Merge in the case of emergency, see the comment here for details.

Therefore, CLI args doesn't increase the speed of the reaction in emergency cases hence supporting them is anymore not a requisite for a client software. This PR proposes to remove the corresponding document from the set of consensus spec docs.

Looks good.

Note to readers that TERMINAL_TOTAL_DIFFUCLTY, TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH, and TERMINAL_BLOCK_HASH_ACTIVATION_EPOCH are still defined but must be overridden in updated configs in releases rather than on the command line

From a specification standpoint, I don't think this should be specified so I think removal of this is a good thing. From a recommendation standpoint for the various client I think there is notable value in providing a CLI override flag to their users, especially enterprise users that may have a fairly onerous upgrade process but a fairly simple configuration process.
