Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

ValidatorInfo rpc returns data only for active and inactive validators. This means clients cannot discover its existence if a validator is jailed or tombstoned.
This is especially critical for prax, which during modern epoch sync must retrieve all validators and store them in indexed-db to be able to display the user's stakes

By syncing only the modern block, we may lose some validators and stakes.
Example:
Epoch 2: the validator has joined the network
Epoch 3: user delegates tokens to validator
Epoch 4: validator jailed

If the user syncs from the beginning after epoch 5 and the validator remains jailed, we will never know about the existence of this validator and will lose the user stake

Also, it's an issue for other clients too. I think that for example, https://penumbra.today will not be able to display jailed validators

Describe the solution you'd like
ValidatorInfo rpc should return data of all validators regardless of their status
