Updated instructions and references to monolith to their new names (#2994)
Currently, the documentation makes use of the old names for the binary
and configuration files. This updates the documentation so that users
can follow the guide without issues again.
These changes don't require any go unit tests because it does not modify
any golang code.

# Starting the monolith
Once you have completed all of the preparation and installation steps,
you can start your Dendrite monolith deployment by starting `dendrite`:
```bash
./dendrite -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml
```
By default, Dendrite will listen HTTP on port 8008. If you want to change the addresses
or ports that Dendrite listens on, you can use the `-http-bind-address` and
`-https-bind-address` command line arguments:
```bash
./dendrite -config /path/to/dendrite.yaml \
-http-bind-address 1.2.3.4:12345 \
-https-bind-address 1.2.3.4:54321
```
## Running under systemd
A common deployment pattern is to run the monolith under systemd. For this, you
will need to create a service unit file. An example service unit file is available
in the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/matrix-org/dendrite/blob/main/docs/systemd/monolith-example.service).
Once you have installed the service unit, you can notify systemd, enable and start
the service:
```bash
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl enable dendrite
systemctl start dendrite
journalctl -fu dendrite
```
