[FEATURE] Subscribe to Headers from Teranode via Libp2p #307

@sirdeggen

Description

@sirdeggen

Desired Solution

Add a headers source - specifically from Teranode's libp2p DHT.

Suggested Assignees

@galt-tr is familiar with Libp2p. @oskarszoon may be able to help get us hooked into the DHT of the Teranodes on mainnet, and @wregulski can provide answers to any questions about existing implementation of BHS.

Alternatives Considered

Most devices will get these via a typescript equivalent libp2p subscription. BUT back end services could all use this as a source per company.

I think we should not charge for this data via AuthFetch since it's fundamental to the security model of SPV. Everyone should get headers, it's a tiny bandwidth to support so cost is negligable.

Necessary to adapt to Teranode takeover of the network in coming year.
