Subject: [PATCH 1/6] chore!: bump poa module to `d321226`

- POA params were removed in `d321226`
- `GetPoAAdmin()` now panics if `POA_ADMIN_ADDRESS` is not set
- Fix tests, parameters and documentation to reflect the update

 #### Commands
 
-##### Update Parameters (update-params):
-
-Add more chain administrators to the module and change the ability for validators to self-exit the set gracefully.
-
-- Syntax: `manifestd tx poa update-params [admin1,admin2,admin3,...] [allow-validator-self-exit-bool]`
-
-  - Parameters:
-    - `admin1,admin2,admin3,...`: A list of admin addresses which can be multisig addresses.
-    - `allow-validator-self-exit-bool`: A boolean value (true or false) to allow validators to self-exit.
-
-  **Example:** `manifestd tx poa update-params manifest1hj5fveer5cjtn4wd6wstzugjfdxzl0xp8ws9ct,manifest1hj5fveer5cjtn4wd6wstzugjfdxzl0xp8ws9ct false`
-
 ##### Update Staking Parameters (update-staking-params):
 
 Updates the defaults of the staking module from the PoA admin. For most cases, this should never be touched when using PoA.
