Description
When a users validator goes out of the active set, they do not receive staking reward.
We need the Hydro contract to allow *keeping* the users ATOM locked, but to switch the validator that they are delegated with.

Research direction
Start by locating the Hydro contract entry points for delegation, validator selection, and staking rewards. Trace what happens when a validator leaves the active set, then determine how a user can keep ATOM locked while switching delegation. Done means the contract supports that switch without interrupting the user's locked stake or rewards.
