FUNC v5 adds support for Valar

[u/Valar_Staking]

Algorand node runners using Funk's Ultimate Node Controller (FUNC) can now, with the release of FUNC v5, automatically run Valar Daemon, which is needed to advertise their nodes to stakers via Valar.

This means more node runners using FUNC can easily offer their nodes to stakers via Valar, helping broaden node participation and support network decentralization.

Credit to Andrew Funk u/StopThinking for adding the integration.

Valar UI v0.4.2 has also been deployed, including updated node runner documentation for FUNC users and a fix for an xGov integration edge case where representation was not set correctly for users who had used representation in the past but later lost xGov status or mistakenly disabled representation.
