scalar: upgrade to newest FSMonitor config setting

When FSMonitor was upstreamed, the 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor' config was
deprecated and replaced with an overload of the 'core.fsmonitor' config
(i.e., if a boolean value was specified in 'core.fsmonitor', it is treated
the way 'core.useBuiltinFSMonitor' originally was). Because 'scalar
register' actively sets that config, use it to upgrade the deprecated config
setting.
