Problem: There is no way to vote for an election (#2458)

Browse Source 
* Problem: `run_upsert_validator_approve` was getting the voting power in a convoluted way

Solution: Changed it to get the voting power from the election outputs

* Problem: `run_upsert_validator_approve` casts votes for *all* voters, not just the user calling the command

Solution: Filter vote txs by the users public key

* Problem: Docs needed a more specific description of how to input the path to the private-key file

Solution: Changed the wording a bit

If the command succeeds, it will create an election and return an `election_id`. Elections consist of one vote token per voting power, issued to the members of the validator set. Validators can cast their votes to approve the change to the validator set by spending their vote tokens. The status of the election can be monitored by providing the `election_id` to the `show` subcommand.
#### upsert-validator approve
Approve an election by voting for it.
Below is the command line syntax and the return value,
```bash
$ bigchaindb upsert-validator approve <election_id> --private-key PATH_TO_YOUR_PRIVATE_KEY
```
Here, `<election_id>` is the transaction id of the election the approval should be given for. `--private-key` should be the path to Tendermint's private key which can be generally found at `/home/user/.tendermint/config/priv_validator.json`.
Example usage,
```bash
$ bigchaindb upsert-validator approve 04a067582cf03eba2b53b82e4adb5ece424474cbd4f7183780855a93ac5e3caa --private-key /home/user/.tendermint/config/priv_validator.json
```
If the command succeeds, a message will be returned, that the vote was submitted successfully.
