Expose feature the take RNode's pulse #10

An end user may want to ping the connected RNode to make sure it is still alive, and update a dapp's UI or take other appropriate action when it is not. RNode should export another method to do this.

Possible implementation: Use the eval service to evaluate the stopped process (0) and if a response comes back, the node is alive.

Ideally the function would take no args and return bool.

Actually, eval comes from different protos and doesn't guarantee Casper is working anyway. Maybe another service would work better
