Add a Validator

To add a validator to your Avalanche L1, you need to call the initiateValidatorRegistration function on the ValidatorManager contract.

This function will kick off the registration process for a new validator. The process includes the following steps:

1. The L1 emits a L1ValidatorRegistrationMessage Warp message in the transaction logs.
2. Request an aggregated signature of the message from the L1's validators.
3. Submit the signed message to the P-Chain in a L1ValidatorRegistration transaction.
4. The wait for the transaction to be committed on the P-Chain.
5. Construct a RegisterL1ValidatorMessage Warp message.
6. Request an aggregated signature of the RegisterL1ValidatorMessage Warp message from the L1's validators.
7. Submit the signed RegisterL1ValidatorMessage to the ValidatorManager contract in a completeValidatorRegistration transaction.

In short, the L1 does a round trip message with the P-Chain to register the validator.
