Increase primary network uptime requirement (ACP-267) #4977

Description

@michaelkaplan13

Context and scope
Implement https://github.com/avalanche-foundation/ACPs/blob/main/ACPs/267-uptime-requirement-increase/README.md

Discussion and alternatives
After discussion, it was decided that it is best to enforce the higher uptime requirement only on a go-forwards basis. Validators that started before the ACP was created or announcement sent out should still only be required to meet the existing uptime requirement.

Changes to the uptime requirement do not require network upgrades because uptimes are locally observed by each node anyways. Each node votes on whether or not it prefers to reward a given validator by setting its initial preference based on its own observed uptime of that validator. The network-wide decision whether or not a reward is given to the validator is then reached through consensus.
