Description
Right now we use _ in some places and in others we don't.
I propose that going forward, we should update all the group names to use _ so it's consistent and easier to read.
Having said that, this change will of course also first need to be fully backward compatible (support both approaches) and eventually we can deprecate and remove old notation.

Research direction
Start by reviewing how st2.conf section groups are parsed and compare the inconsistent names described in the issue. Read the related pull request #3505 for context and identify the affected configuration groups. Done means both naming styles remain backward compatible while new group names consistently use underscores, with any deprecation plan documented.
