Remove this requires, this is for users who does not want to have any graffiti at all, so they can use --graffiti-append false without needing the --graffiti flag

Should tweak this to say:
This should only be set to
falsewhen using a Lighthouse beacon node.
And something about how the default behaviour is to append.

Also need to test .flag("graffiti-append", Some("true")) which corresponds to just --graffiti-append. Some people might be using that from their old config.
| ## Automatically append client version info to user graffiti | ||

|

| In the interest of obtaining client diversity data, Lighthouse will by default automatically append client version info | ||
| to user graffiti in the proposed blocks. |

| `This is my graffiti string yo yo` | ||

|
||
| To opt out from this, use the flag `--graffiti-append false` on the validator client. This will retain your own | ||
| graffiti when proposing a block, without appending any client version info. |

Should highlight that this ONLY works with Lighthouse BNs

Closes issue #9287
Additional Info
By default, append client version info by including the client code and some commit hash of the version, see: https://hackmd.io/@wmoBhF17RAOH2NZ5bNXJVg/BJX2c9gja
The exact implementation on how to append the client version info is different from other clients, e.g., Teku: https://docs.teku.consensys.io/reference/cli#validators-graffiti-client-append-format
I think that should be ok, as long as the appended info contains the EL, CL and the version (commit hash).
