Playbook for witness upgrade/restoration after delegation fix

[2byrds]

Feature request description/rationale

It has been reported that witnesses for an identifier can become unresponsive to OOBI requests if the witness is missing the delegator KEL information.

KERIpy has a witness fix "allowing for a witness to return a KEL for a delegated AID without the AES couple for approved events and without the delegator's KEL"

What steps are necessary to upgrade and restore the witness?

[daidoji]

Is there an upgrade and restore procedure for the witness? Would the procedure be just to rotate away from the witnesses that aren't working and retry the ritual?

@daidoji what you describe is a normal case. I believe if a majority of the witnesses can receipt the rotation to new witnesses, then that would be the simple fix. But there is a case when all witnesses are in an unresolved state for a delegated identifier and a fix will be applied in order to restore all of them (or enough to rotate).

Oh you're right, I get it now.
