Why this should be merged
One of the more common misconfigurations for avalanchego is to have misconfigured the BLS signer. This adds a healthcheck that attempts to warn that this has happened.
It isn't guaranteed to work (as the node may not actually consider itself as part of the validator set even though the rest of the network does). However, this check should have no false positives after bootstrapping has finished.
How this works
Adds another health check that verifies that the node's BLS key matches the key that was registered under the node's ID.
How this was tested
