In most RESTful APIs, path parameters are used to represent resources, and
query parameters are used to control how these resources are being filtered/sorted/...
The old /<count>/ functionality is kept alive to maintain backwards compatibility,
but new paths with query parameters are introduced and documented as the default
interface so future API methods don't break consistency by using query parameters.
By whitelisting the peers via -whitelist, the inventory is transmissioned
immediately rather than on average every 5 seconds, speeding up the test by at
least a factor of two:

Pull request description:
This adds a new rest endpoint:
/rest/blockfilter/filtertype/requesttype/blockhash (eg
/rest/blockfilter/basic/header/000000000019d6689c085ae165831e934ff763ae46a2a6c172b3f1b60a8ce26f.hex)
which exposes either the filter "header" or the filter data itself.
Most of the code is cribbed from the equivalent RPC.

ACK 2b64fa3251 - Adding blockfilters to the REST interface is analogous to serving other public data such as transactions or blocks.

The previous diff touched most files in ./test/, so bump the headers to
avoid having to touch them again for a bump later.

Pull request description:
Author of #21245 expressed [time issues](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21245#issuecomment-902332088) in the original PR. Given that #21245 has received a lot of review*, I have decided to open this new pull request with [modifications required to get ACK from luke-jr ](https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/21245#issuecomment-905150806) and a few nits of mine.
### Original PR description
> Display the prevout in transaction inputs when calling getblock level 3 verbosity. This PR affects the existing `/rest/block` API by adding a `prevout` fields to tx inputs. This is mentioned in the change to the release notes.
>
> I added some functional tests that
>
> * checks that the RPC call still works when TxUndo can't be found
>
> * Doesn't display the "value" or "scriptPubKey" of the previous output when at a lower verbosity level
>
>
> This "completes" the issue #18771

### Examples
Examples of the `getblock` output with various verbose levels. Note that `000000000000001f682b188971cc1a121546be4e9d5baf22934fdc7f538288d5` contains only 2 transactions.
#### Verbose level 0

./bitcoin-cli -testnet getblock 000000000000001f682b188971cc1a121546be4e9d5baf22934fdc7f538288d5 0
```
##### Verbose level 1
```bash

```
##### Verbose level 2
```bash
./bitcoin-cli -testnet getblock 000000000000001f682b188971cc1a121546be4e9d5baf22934fdc7f538288d5 2

The fewer magic numbers the better.
Also more directly tested a `submitheader` case of bad previous blockhash.
