Validator nodes screen is confusing

[ilblackdragon]

Details

1. Validator account names are not full even though they are short. "staked.poolv1.near..." is especially funny, what's behind ... where?
2. key "ed25519... " shown doesn't make any sense. Also it leads to... transaction details of non existent transaction?
3. Why 12 validators per page? We only have 60, they all can be shown on single page. Ideally just let's show all validators on one page until this becomes an issue. All other tools (https://near.zavodil.ru/?pools=) show on a single page fine.
4. https://explorer.near.org/nodes/proposals page doesn't really make sense to me. It shows all the validator that got more delegations together with new validators? I would merge new validators into the list of validators and mark them "new". Not sure if we want to show validators who received more or less delegation but given there is also reward there, would need to query actual transactions to the contract to determine how much was staked / unstaked.
5. Did we sunset the geo map? Is there plan to return it?
6. It would be good to see also not currently validating nodes that are running with staking contract - for people who want to delegate to new nodes, that will be the only to find them given they don't show up in the wallet.

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to https://explorer.near.org/nodes/validators and https://explorer.near.org/nodes/proposals

5. Did we sunset the geo map? Is there plan to return it?

The new design of the map turned the old map implementation useless, and given that it is a separate effort, I decided to go without it first.

All the rest items are valid concerns and we will address them asap

Re No.4: Let's sunset the proposals tab and merge the current validators set, the next validators set, and the proposal into a single list using the label ("Active", "Kicked Out", "Next Epoch", "Proposal") to distinguish them.

Notes:

• "Active" is the validator that is present in the current AND the next validators set
• "Leaving" is the validator that is present in the current, but IS NOT part of the next validators set
• "Next Epoch" is the validator that is NOT present in the current, but IS part of the next validators set
• "Proposal" is the validator that is NOT present in the current and IS NOT part of the next validators set
• Count only the current stake of current validators ("active" and "leaving") for total stake and cumulative stake (the current computation is correct, so it should not be affected by introducing more validators on the list)

@ilblackdragon Re No.6: Having a list of *.poolv1.near accounts on the page would not help me to make any decision on whether I want or don't want to delegate to them. Pools advertisements should probably happen somewhere outside of Explorer, WDYT?

The information about the pools is present in smart contract name.near. This info is what https://near.zavodil.ru/?pools= presents.

It was only addressed partially, so I reopen it now.
