Update validators and lts network (#1156)

automatic validator power management, dynamic validators and LTS network

This commit introduces a new way to handle validators within the Vochain. 

Until now there was no way to create a new validator once the Genesis have been mined.
Now it is possible through a new transaction to update an account (publicKey) to Validator.
This transaction is expensive to avoid spamming the network with new validators.

In addition to that, the Vochain now tracks the validator metrics (score) based on their participation
on the block production process. Its power goes automatically from 0 to the maximum (currently 100).

If a validator stops working, the power will go to 0 and it will be removed from the validator set.

Finally, replace the existin `apex` network by the new `lts` network. The upcoming production blockchain.
