Bypass signature verification for testing

Good use case would be for example, interchaintest.

Take mainnet state in (simulate a whale) and perform actions on their behalf locally against what would actually happen & with the accounts which would be interacting.

this doesn't seem very safe to me, it opens more weak spots on the node for a coordinated attack. Maybe better to keep it in a separate tag/branch

@dimiandre it would still require 51% of the VP to be compromised to run this attack. I see it as the same security risk as using Cosmovisor would be, no?

Cosmovisor is not installed by default, this is an option available to anyone and a simple os env var can activate it. Os vars can be very easily manipulated by any external software.

Also i think with just 33% of the vp this can cause a chain halt
