When submitting a DRep Registration, the transaction does not contain a vote delegation to self

[Ryun1]

Context & versions

• When registering as a DRep from any role (Direct Voter, No Role, Delegator)
• The transaction never contains a vote delegation to self

Actual behavior

when i change from; Direct Voter -> DRep, all GovTool does is submit a DRep Update certificate
when I go from; retired DRep -> Direct Voter, GovTool does a DRep registration AND a Vote Delegation
when I go from; retired DRep -> DRep, GovTool does a DRep registration

when I go from; no role -> DRep, GovTool does a DRep registration AND is missing the delegation

Expected behavior

• When moving from No Role -> DRep, the transaction SHOULD also contain a Vote Delegation to self.
• When moving from the Retired state, NO delegation is fine as it is expect that the user is still delegated to self

That is an awesome explanation of the flow, we'll do that

Recheck when fixed:
Dashboard, DRep metadata validation: after Retirement, and when a user is a Direct Voter - DRep metadata are shown as missing #1254
