oldest_block_identifier in NetworkStatusResponse #7

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. When pruning is enabled on a node, it is often useful to know what the oldest unpruned block is. In v1.3.1, there is no way to represent this.

Describe the solution you'd like Add oldest_block_identifier to NetworkStatusResponse

Describe alternatives you've considered Considered using genesis_block_identifier field in NetworkStatusResponse to represent last unpruned block, but this is a confusing misuse of available fields.
