Normalizer.normalize() is performing sequence position validation which cannot be skipped

[mihaitodor]

The code here tests whether the sequence position actually exists, but there isn't any way to skip this test which requires fetching sequence data. Would it not make sense to skip it when the validate parameter is set to False? Also, I see there's a TODO in there which I guess should also be addressed (but not sure how):

# tests whether the sequence position actually exists
# This is *way* janky.
# TODO: push functionality to hdp which can implement differently
# based on capabilities of sequence backend
