Don't use the faucet address as validator reward address #1618

In the current ZQ2 test networks, the bootstrap is a validator and it uses the faucet address as reward address. We should change it to use a "neutral" address like all other validators do.

Why? Not against doing this, just curious.

My first thought was because it makes it harder to check the correctness of the faucet balance (e.g. I can't calculate how many times it was used based on its balance just as a hypothetical example) and the correctness or the rewards earned by the validator, if they are not sent to a separate account.

On a second thought, I'd start using the null address as reward address for the bootstrap because that is exactly what we will need for the guard nodes we will run with a deposit borrowed from the null address on mainnet i.e. they should not earn rewards.
