Implementation project of hotswap between validator nodes GREEN-HOUSE-3 and GREEN-HOUSE-4 to reduce downtime. Will use Identity Transition tutorial from Pumpkin's Pool: https://pumpkins-pool.gitbook.io/pumpkins-pool/

Original "no downtime" project by mvines: https://github.com/mvines/validator-Identity-transition-demo

Hotswap script successfully tested during epoch 555 and epoch 556 to upgrade validator client from 1.16.23 to 1.16.24 and then 1.16.25. Swap was done using junk identities on each node, unable to vote until the identity is set to our validator identity with stakes delegated.

Script will be uploaded when v0.1 is ready. Still to be done:

Add variables to identity source and destination hosts involved in the swap
Add a test to verify that the destination host has caught up and is ready for the swap
