Refactor `is_validator` in the PoS crate #2820

Open brentstone opened 6 months ago

This function should be expanded into several different ones with slightly different usages. Currently, it checks for the existence of a piece of metadata that is written if become_validator has been called for an address. However, sometimes we would like to know if an address is a validator at a certain epoch in the future, which could yield different results than the current check. We may also want to check if a validator is one in a range of epochs.

We already have the validator_addresses in storage for epochs, so we should use this.

Are any of these changes relevant to the functionality of proof-of-stake, or is this more of an internal refactor to make the code cleaner?
