Add a new database API to get signed block header #2588

Description

@abitmore

User Story

As a client app developer I want a database API which returns the signed block header of a given block number (or perhaps multiple blocks) so that I can calculate the block ID without getting the entire block.

Additional Context (optional)

We have a get_block_header API but it does not return the witness signature thus unable to calculate the block ID with the result. The get_block API is usable, but it returns too much data.
