[proposal] require proposer signature for getHeader request #108

Description

@0xalpharush

It has been shown that the getHeader API end point leaks information about unconfirmed blocks via its log bloom. I propose not allowing requests from anyone but the proposer by requiring a signature from the proposer's pubkey. If it’s profitable, searchers and builders have an incentive for block proposal to be as delayed as possible (flashbots/mev-boost#111).

In Flashbot's implementation, the signature would be verified here:
