Proposed changes

This kip enables the validators to carry prepared certificates through ROUND CHANGE messages and justifies the PRE-PREPAREs above round 0 with the round-change quorum. Thus, an existing lock is preserved across rounds instead of being kept only locally.

Further comments

The message formats in this KIP are the post-fork formats only. The pre-fork formats stay as they are and will be removed from clients once the Permissionless hard fork is active on every network.

Add KIP-334, which carries prepared certificates through ROUND CHANGE
messages and justifies PRE-PREPAREs above round 0 with the round-change
quorum, so that a lock held by an honest validator is preserved across
rounds instead of being kept only locally.
