Merge #634: Get block hash by its height

2af678a Get block hash by its height (Vladimir Fomene)

Pull request description:

  ### Description
  This PR create a new trait `blockchain::GetBlockHash` with a `get_block_hash` method which returns a block hash given the block height. This has been implemented for all blockchain backends.
  Fixes #603

  ### Notes to the reviewers

  I haven't updated the `CHANGELOG.md` and docs. Am I suppose to update it for this change?
