v2.56.0 Delegated guardian sets

Key changes Delegated guardian sets #4628 adds support for a feature named "delegated guardian sets" aka. "mini guardian sets" that enables different chains to be observed by a configurable number of guardians. By default, there is no change in how chains are observed compared to the previous release, unless the guardian node operator configures the address of WormholeDelegatedGuardians.sol‎ on Ethereum. This smart contract serves as the source of truth configuration for which guardians have been delegated by the rest of the guardians to observe any one particular chain. These release notes will be updated with the address of WormholeDelegatedGuardians.sol‎ that's being deployed by the contributors to Ethereum. The contributors will propose that guardians adopt it and make it the canonical source of truth.
