Content
This PR includes a fix to the error received by some signers when attempting to create a single signature:
ProtocolInitializerNotRegistered(CoreRegister(UnregisteredInitializer))
After investigation, it appears that this error occurs when a signer is signing a message and is not registered for the next epoch: in that case the signer should be able to sign and should only skip signing at the next epoch. The fix replaces the usage of a protocol initializer with a clerk instead to compute the aggregate verification key that is embedded in the signed message.
