feature request: Add 'network' or 'oracle info' endpoint

[cygnet3]

It would be very useful for us to be able to ask the blindbit oracle what network it is currently running. This would allow us to double-check that we are on the correct network, for example, when the user wants to switch their blindbit instance.

This can be expanded into a more general 'oracle info' endpoint. This endpoint can give information on:

• current network
• blindbit version (maybe useful for backwards-compatibility?)
• if the oracle is fully synced (the indexes are fully built)
• if cutthrough is enabled
• if dust limit is supported

That's just an idea though, maybe just having a /network endpoint is good enough.

That's a good idea. I'll add this to my todos.

FYI there is a height endpoint which at least gives you the last indexed height.

Check out this commit on dev branch 37b6d4d. See the output for the /info endpoint below. Does this work for you?

{
  "network": "signet",
  "height": 221156,
  "tweaks_only": false,
  "tweaks_full_basic": true,
  "tweaks_full_with_dust_filter": true,
  "tweaks_cut_through_with_dust_filter": true
}

Once I have a proper versioning system set up, this will also be included in the endpoint as well. For now I'll only add the current max height. There are a couple of edge cases which need to be thought through to make a field like fully synced reliable.

Cool this works, thanks!
