initial POC for grpc tls

[jhawk28]

Initial concept for gRPC tls support

[a26nine]

I was able to sync a light node with:

[Core]
  IP = "xxx.celestia-mainnet.quiknode.pro"
  RPCPort = "443"
  GRPCPort = "9090"
  EnableTLS = true

using this build.

Without specifying valid certificates in the tls.Config object will not secure gRPC connection. By default, an empty tls.Config{} means that no certificate or private key is provided, which leads to an insecure setup.

Node already has TLS certificates handling logic here for web socket, so you can reuse the certificate for the grpc connection.

[jhawk28]

This was a proof of concept to get the Light node working against a Quicknode celestia endpoint. QN doesn't support client certs. gRPC auth for a QN endpoint occurs over the x-token header

[vgonkivs]

One more point here is the solution is not generic. You may not support the certificates but if someone does, the connection won't be established. Also, it is recommended to manually specify the MinTLSVersion(linter confirmed it)

[vgonkivs]

let's avoid growing the node's config. We have an env variable that signals that TLS should be enabled.

[jhawk28]

I just wanted to create a POC. My recommended approach would be to have a RPC url and gRPC url.
