Add additional GET RPC endpoints #4358

good first issue
Appropriate for a new open source contribution.
Problem: the stacks blockchain RPC interface for GET requests is limited compared the data exposed in bitcoin/etc and the rich data in Hiro's API.
With recent changes to the HTTP interface (https://github.com/stacks-network/stacks-core/tree/master/stackslib/src/net/api), it should be much easier to add more RPC endpoints to expose some generic data. Initially, i'm thinking something like:
some comparable bitcoin-cli rpc commands:
getblockhash
getblock
getrawtransaction
gettxout
for the data exposed, i don't think it should be a requirement to be as detailed as the Hiro API - but i think should be enough to understand what is in a block, or what a tx is doing (as well as retrieving the block hash by a block height).
