This PR adds an OP_RETURN output containing a timestamping commitment (committing to the Tendermint block hash of the block where the checkpoint advances to signing) as the second output for every checkpoint transaction. This hash can be used to bootstrap light clients and contains Merkle paths down to the Nomic state, which itself holds block hashes of other chains via their IBC clients.
