Idea: add response signatures #37

Description

@ezekg

Response signatures could improve upon node-locking in low trust environments where Relay's fingerprint is known beforehand on the application-side by at least somewhat helping to prevent replay-attacks (but more in a security-by-obscurity way).

Could use a simple HMAC-SHA256 using Relay's fingerprint in a header:

Relay-Signature: t=1679654321,v1=abc...def

But since this is security-by-obscurity, signatures could easily be forged if a bad actor knows the fingerprint.
